Help on build

[Zentech]

I am looking for reccomendations for components. I am looking to build a PC for roughly $1000-$1200. This would be used for gaming, streaming, and possibly small content creation. Im looking for a Bang-for-your-buck kinda build. I am also looking to build this around black friday/cyber monday. So any components that may go on sale during these times? This was my current list but I dont wanna spend as much money + I dont think this is very bang for my buck and more of a jumbled MESS:

I'd recommend a 7700K instead of the 6700K, if you can spare the 20-30 extra dollars. Also, I'd recommend being careful with the TridentZ RGB series as it is known it can become bricked by trying to adjust the LEDs

There's tons of posts about it. The RGB modification software is extremely dangerous, since it stores the information on the SPD chip of the RAM, which can potentially render it useless by changing stuff it shouldn't.

It was adjusting the LEDs and using monitoring software at the same time.  It's mostly fixed now

I just checked and it's more like a 100$ difference...

Buying from the US there's no chance of it being $100 price difference between a 6700k and 7700k.

 

Unless you were quoting a different part of the post but idk, your response doesn't fit to anything else.

it worth it. he is waiting for black friday, even if he has to pay 400$ the cpu, rest of components should be cheaper to make it up for him otherwise should go for ryzen when think of streaming, content creation & gaming all together.

if you want to game & stream as well as content creation, dont get anything but 8700k or get ryzen 1700 . it would be terrible decision to buy a 6700k/7700k.
