Would this be a good option for a gaming pc?

[RoboFTW]

Looking for a good pc to play some games aswell as do videis for youtube. How would this do?

 

[Supahos]

Yeah that's no good (delivery time) any 2*4 GB kit will be basically the same.

 

[RoboFTW]

Thank you guys appreciate the help!

 

[RoboFTW]

How would that pentium 4560 cpu deal with streaming or video editing?

 

[Supahos]

Poorly. But similarly to the 2400/2500. It's as upgradeable as you want it to be. But you can't go steaming with a "budget" gaming build

 

[user11464]

regardless, it simply cannot be beat for the price.

one thing you will never hear anyone say... "I regret spending $60 on this Intel G4560." lol

 

[Supahos]

Lol yeah i tend to agree.

 

[RoboFTW]

I'm assuming the game also depends if you can stream or not. Say something like gmod?

 

[Supahos]

It does but typically you'd want an i7 for that as it's pretty resources intensive to stream in general. And you won't have a ton of "headroom" on your CPU or your GPU

 

[user11464]

youtube g4560 streaming. cpu intensive games will be the problem. on the bright side, that cpu can be upgraded to a kaby lake i5 or i7 at any point with no other parts needed, if you happen to save money.

What would be the ideal i5 or i7 for when i decide to upgrade in future

it depends, but for i5s, the 7500 tends to be the most popular. probably because i'ts that sweet spot in the middle of the line up

A 7500/7600 for the I5 and a 7700 (no point to k models as they can't be overclocked on this board. I have a sneaking suspicion the price of basically all Intel processors are a out to go down in the comming weeks/months as they finally have some competition (that Pentium might be the only one that stays the same)

I believe only the skylake cpus will go down, since they should have already with the release of kaby lake, and never really did. and i agree, there is no way the pentiums are going down, I'm surprised they are even that cheap to start with. It's a great time to be in the market for a budget pc with the new pentium.

 

[Supahos]

When you can pick up a 8core 16thread processor that is unlocked for the same price as a 7700k (roughly) that price has to come down.

 

[RoboFTW]

Supahos, i just ordered the motherboard/case/power supply and pentium g4560 you guys recommended. Hopefully can get the rest in next few days too.

 

[Supahos]

Awesome. It should be a good rig

 

[RoboFTW]

Thanks for the help

Would i need to buy a cd drive for the tower? Considering im gonna need to install windows 10 unless you have any better idea.

 

[Supahos]

If you have a working computer around you can download windows 10 from Microsoft and put it on a USB drive (drive needs to be formatted properly) and install it that way. Or you can buy a DVD reader (or borrow one out of any computer you can get your hands on)

 

[RoboFTW]

Alright thanks. I must be so annoying for you guys lol

 

[Supahos]

Na you don't bother me a bit. I was once you. I still remember that some have gotten very "elitist" and forgotten they were once new too. Only thing that bothers me is the person who says "I know nothing about computers" then argues with everything you tell them. With "I've heard" stuff and cant source any of the stuff they've heard. I usually just drop out of those threads.

 

[RoboFTW]

Haha yeah. I am mostly a console player wanting to get into pc gaming too so i know my knowledge isnt great. I've seen some helpful threads on here in past so i thought i would ask here. Glad i did and didnt just jump into a pre built pc

 

[Supahos]

Biggest advantage between then is the one you're building will be upgradeable to a monster if your needs change that prebuilt was based on some 6 year old tech.

 

[RoboFTW]

So I've bought all of the parts other than the ram (obviously long delivery time) would you be able to show me another which would be compatible with motherboard. If so thank you!

 

[Supahos]

Just pick the cheapest 8 GB 2 stick kit that you can get quickly. 2400 cl15 speed if possible sometimes they are a lot more expensive and there isn't a giant difference
