I want to start streaming

[theminnesotanman]

I want to start streaming games such as arma 3, overwatch, etc. basically anything and everything. this is my current build list that i have in mind. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2TRrf8  What can be improved. also will i need a different processor to do the bios update? Thanks to all who help out <3

a 1700 clocked at 4ghz will be better.

Damn! That's a pretty beefy build! 

But are you sure you want a 500GB M.2 SSD? Seems a bit overkill to me.

i'd gladly toss that entire pick out the window and start again from scratch for you. it's not a bad build for what you're doing, but money is going into things it shouldnt be going.

Yeah I would agree with you.

Get a 5820K, it is cheaper and better than the 6800K (when both are overclocked)

I swapped out the CPU for a ryzen and made the build a bit cheaper

What are your thoughts on getting the 1800 over the 1700? also why crucial ssd's? in my experience Samsung has been more reliable. 

[manikyath]

this would slice a healthy bit off the cost of the build, using mostly on-par hardware, allowing you to sink the moeny into some other purposes (like for example a microphone)

i dont see much reason to get a 1TB M.2 for pretty much anything.

The 1800X is basically a higher clocked version of the 1700 with the new auto OC thingy

how about going to a 1700x?

I would recommend SK Hynix. They are a lesser known brand here, but they make a lot of OEM things. Many RAM chips are made by them. The SL308 500GB is comparable to the 850 Evo but a lot cheaper.

how many have you had? if not for large sample sizes or obvious faults (like an entire batch failing on you) it's mostly down to luck.

I would just OC the 1700 manually, because OCing the 1800X disables the auto-OC thingy. They OC to about the same clocks usually anyways

money isnt the issue. I i want the build to stay around the 1900-2000 range.

but if you can do the same for less, then use that money for something with purpose, rather than mindlessly sorting components by highest price.

why 8gb of ram though? also id prefer to do water cooling. EDIT: im dumb didnt see the 16 only saw the 8 kek. Still the question remains about water cooling

2x8 => 16GB ram.

 

also, i'm not a watercooling person, go ahead and get a 240mm rad if you want, but IMO GPU watercooling is a waste of money and fan space

[theminnesotanman]

Gpu is fine i was wondering more for the CPU. I had the hybrid cause originally i wanted to do an itx build.

there's a few things in a build that i can only give my recommendations on, which eventually come down to preference:

- the case

- peripherals

- cooler choice (i'm a big towercooler person, some people are crazy and like 10k rpm delta fans, others like putting water near electronics)

- specific brands: if two brands make the same spec product, it comes down to aesthetics.

i have a WD black 2TB, dont get a WD black 2TB. they're obnoxiously loud, rather pricy, and not actually notably faster than alternatives.
