The windforce cooler is a very good one and capable of dissipating a ton of heat, so you should be fine in terms of overclocking, and as long as you take it slowly and go in small increments, it's not very likely that you'll damage your card. I wouldn't recommend overvolting if it's your first time though because that can damage your card. Also the 270 is generally a great overclocker.

Yea the 260x provides a very good price to performance ratio at a price that is very attractive to some people.

Glorious PC master race.

Yeah if you don't want to overclock, then the xeon E3 1230 v3 would be a good choice, it does have hyperthreading, and I didn't look at the price until now but it is very attractively priced. It would preform great in multitasking.
-
A xeon isn't a bad idea, I just think that you would be better off with a 4770k.
-
No if you're going to be gaming and streaming at max, you're probably going to want more cores.
-
Also depends if you plan on overclocking, because xeons are not great at overclocking due to the locked multiplier.
-
An i5 would perform very similarly in games, but when it comes to multitasking it is not as good.
-
But also if you watch through that whole video you would be wasting a lot of money on features that you don't need with a xeon
-
The only problem with that is a cheap xeon wouldn't perform that well in games, also you can get an i7 for cheaper than 350.

I would think that a 4770k would work great. It's what I use in my rig and it works great for multitasking.

Amd vs Intel for budget
dfraser replied to Powesedor (Pedro Pereira)'s topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I personally think that amd is a better choice for budget pc's. Their lower end products provide a much better price to performance ratio than intels lower end products. Also I think that the 6300 is a great choice for that specific build. -
I would set up a triple monitor setup and have all the multitasking.

If these were still available, I would have one in a second, may be expensive but it saves the headache of trying to build a computer in a fish tank. Unfortunate that they had to discontinue this line because of the patent trolls, there don't seem to be any other products even similar to this out there.
