Need some help building a new pc. Everytime i get a build i like i read something somewhere that gets me to completely change my mind because prices are constantly changing and what not.
I am looking to build a Gaming PC that is capable of streaming in 1440 as well as editing videos and good render speeds. some friends and I are gonna start making videos with games again and my pc is just not going to cut it. my current system is as follows and is at least 4-5 years old. my memory is gone at this point haha:
CPU- i7-4790k @4.00g
Mobo- Z97x- Gaming 7
Ram-Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1866 C9 2x8GB
Gpu- Gtx 980Ti
Storage- 250gb Samsung SSD 850 EVO
- 1t HDD WD blue
all monitors only 60 htz i have 3 2 lenovo monitors and an acer. all are unremarkable
The build I was planning on was a ryzen 5 3600 paired with a 5700XT
I am still confident in a intel 600p 1TB as a boot drive and a 2tb seagate HDD for like 50 bucks but everything else is a wash.
The more i look up stuff the more i change my mind about what is better.
16gb of ram or 32? 3000MHz or 3600MHz intel or amd cpu? ect I even recently saw some conversations about the 5700xt being bad for streaming ect.
about all i know for sure is my soft budget is 1000$ and maybe 1200$ if it gets good cost to performance upgrades. I know that ram is pretty decently priced right now so my thinking is that whatever i do i should get 32 gb but the price i spend can range from 89.99$ for 32gb of oloy on newegg to over 200$ for some rgb main brand and i have no idea whats best.
the next headache is 1 new monitor for gaming. I know i am well behind using a stock 60htz off the shelf monitor from office depot 6-7 years ago lol. so i know i should at least get a 144htz panel. but then there are 240 htz panels and i dont wanna upgrade to the bare minimum. also there are differences in the type of panel like VA, TN, and IPS. not to mention every type of panel has 10 different skews and slightly different quirks and the prices are changing rapidly due to it being the holidays i was looking at a 260$ monitor that went to 450 the next day cause a sale ended before i could even finish researching it lol.
In summary i need help. Also lastly I am well aware that you can go into bios and change like cpu speeds and ram speeds ect. but i have absolutely no knowledge about any of that and people tend to reccomend doing things like that in reviews i read so fair warning i am lamen on this area. I'm not uncapable of learning I build my mother a fence in her back yard after watching 5 youtube videos but it is an area i havent learned nearly enough about and i know that ryzen has some issues ect.
Thanks in advance for any and all reccomendations and i hope you all have a good day.
