What to get??

[Smeyer40]

Hey guys I am starting a New build the one I have currently is not cutting it. I am looking for a CPU and Motherboard that will allow me to record/livestream gameplays with almost no lag and let me edit gameplay videos with acceptable speeds.

I am looking for a CPU/Motherboard that will last me awhile with some GPU upgrade etc. I do have somethings that I am going to take from my current build.

 

 

Thing I am taking from my current build for the new PC

Ram: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB 1866

Cooler: Rosewill RCX-ZAIO-92

Power Supply: Corsair CX750

HDD: Western Digital 500GB (MIght get a SSD soon)

Video Card: Saphire Dual-x R9 270x (After Initial build I am getting another)

 

 

My Current Build that I want to upgrade from

APU: AMD A10-5800K

Motherboard: MSI-FM2-A75MA

Ram: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB 1866

Cooler: Rosewill RCX-ZAIO-92

Power Supply: Corsair CX750

HDD: Western Digital 500GB

Video Card: Saphire Dual-x R9 270x

boop

budget location and what will you use it for?

Couple of points. Don't bother with any ram faster than 1600 mHz, there is not a noticeable difference in performance. In my opinion the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is a better cooler for just a little bit more money. A 1 Tb HDD is almost the same cost, use the money you save on the memory to get it (or this and an SSD for your operating system).

If you want to record/livestream with no lag you either have to get a nvidia card  or just wait till AMD releases their version of Shadowplay which would be soon. Basically Shadowplay doesnt use the gpu but the VID; that's just an auxilary chip made for encoding video's so practically there's no performance hit or even a minor hit.

If I'm wrong about AMD releasing it soon, well get an intel cpu so you can use the IGP (the gpu inside the cpu) in OBS. OBS supports Intel Quicksync and ive seen people reporting lots of good things about it like reducing their cpu loads & more frames when playing. I would still prefer to use the gpu instead of Intel quicksync for streaming/recording.

Also for converting video's Intel Quicksync is by far the fastest.

I wouldn't count on it.

 

The technology that typically follows on either side the other tends to suck. 

 

Performance hit on stressful games would be around 5% (more or less) with Shadowplay.

Change the cooler out to a Cooler master 212 EVO.

The parts that I listed are parts that I already have and I am using them now in my current PC. I am just going to transfer them to the New PC.

 

I am thinking a budget of no more than 500

 

I am only needing a CPU and a Motherboard everything else I have and I am using. Granted I am looking to get an SSD in the future and a H100/Hyper 212 depending on the CPU

4770k and an msi z87-gd65. That would make a good gaming/editing combo. And for recording since you don't have a nvidia gpu, Try recording with msi afterburner. It has the smallest fps drop of any recording program i have used with the exception of shadow play.

What case do you have?

So ~20 more fps from 1333 to 3000 at best with a game that's already running at 150+ fps... That's pretty much unnoticeable.

I don't disagree. But oddly enough people do use computers for things other than gaming. (I also suspect that not everyone runs every game at 150+ fps.)

 

The statement I was responding to had no qualification. It effectively said that the difference was never noticeable. That is clearly not the case. Even in the context of the OP the statement is incorrect as the OP clearly indicated usage beyond gaming.
