No that is separate, 1500 CAD for the PC

In hindsight i should go with a 550w psu instead but

A 5700xt instead of a 2070s will save some money that would need to be put into more ram and possibly a 3900x. Doing both came out a bit over budget though.  It’s arguably a minutely better rig but it wouldn’t be any faster.

I would say wait for the rtx 3000 launch if you can, but heres my list

 

[Bombastinator]

So 1 has bigger cpu, less storage, less features on the mobo, lower end non modular PSU.  Comes down to what one believes will game in 2021.  If a potential cpu upgrade is in the cards if necessary, 2 works better.  Other option is to drop gpu to 5700x without upgrading ram or cpu on 1 so less money.  The cheapo option. Might need a GPU upgrade later instead of a cpu upgrade.

[ProBottler]

yea
you can either do @Bombastinator list which will use x264 as your stream encoder
or you can do mine with nvenc being the stream encoder

That’s the question.  Stream on nvenc or cpu.  Cpu takes more cores and some memory but a gpu with no nvenc becomes possible. Both zen3 and amphere/big navi are coming out soon.

Wouldn’t the Micro ATX Motherboard not work with the ATX Mid Case. From what I know it might not, but idk.

 i absolutely hate making partlists in canadian dollars because the prices are like 1.5x than the us so what is like a 1200 build here is 1800 in canada, i'd do an nvenc gpu if you can make room for it in your budget. ive done test streams on my pc with an i5 4590 16gb ddr3 and an rx 570 and at 720p 50fps it never lagged so i bet with a 5700xt and 3700x you'd be fine for like 1080p 60fps on most titles

[Segatron]

Hey, just wondering if anyone could make me a Streaming/Gaming PC. Just a few things that I would love to have, 120fps, 32gb Ram, and the rest is up to you

extremely unbalanced build, i would drop to ryzen 7 3700x and pump up that gpu to something better

and maybe get 3600mhz ram

and a different casing because the airflow on this isnt great (though it's subjective if you care about looks)

a lower wattage psu

 

not sure if OP needs peripherals such as monitor, kb+mouse

 

maybe down to ryzen 5 and really pump up that gpu

I'm going to assume you don't need a mouse and keyboard and a monitor. 

If so.

Edit. There are other PSUs that are decent like the SP11. But sadly those were out of stock. At least according to pcpp.

Edited August 1, 2020 by TofuHaroto

Budget: $2000 in Canadian Currency

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite, Rainbow Six, Warzone, GTA 5

Other details: Upgrading from PS4. Looking to Run 120 FPS. This PC would be used for Gaming and Streaming.

Thanks!

Why 32gb ram?  Gaming doesn’t even really need 16gb.  More like 9gb for a lot of stuff.

Wouldn’t the rtx 3000 put me over 1750 because it’s new

[Bombastinator]

Iirc this post was originally done  as several.  The OP appears to be trying to figure out what can be gotten for how much money.

 

This is a conceptually answerable question so to do things generally:

CPUs:

a 4/8 cpu or a 12/24 cpu don’t behave allen that differently if one is playing games that doesn’t make much use of multiple threads. The deal is this use of multiple threads is expected to radically increase.  There is an assumption that because games are written for consoles there is likely to eventually be a minimum at 7/14 reached sometime in the next couple of year.  So one can buy a low end cpu now and assuming a higher core count one later.  This can only be done with am4 though because intel keeps swapping sockets.  Anything 8/16 or higher is currently assumed to likely not need a swap.  There was an opinion that fast 6/12 wouldn’t either.  That’s gone from definitely to maybe though.  Mostly because claims for console cpu speeds went from 2+ghz to 3+ghz.  

GPUs:

GPUs have a similar problem as CPUs with the new consoles but it’s more muddy.  The new consoles have a LOT of GPU relative to what is currently being sold.  To find a gpu that is almost totally unlikely to need a swap a 2080 or higher is needed.  Anything 580 or below is more or less guaranteed to need a swap. 
Storage:

Storage is muddier yet.  For games m.2 isn’t even useful currently.  It’s a LOT faster than sata, but that speed isn’t actually good for much.  Instant is instant.  A cheap lowball SSD is fast enough to saturate sata so putting on a better one is pointless unless it’s m.2.  The problem is that right now specifically for gaming M.2 doesn’t buy anything either.  This IS expected to change, but in what way is unknown.  
PSUs:

PSUs have a problem in that they’re wildly over priced at the moment.  It’s mostly supply chain stuff.  They’re big, heavy, and are relatively cheap compared to other components.  PSU quality is mostly about safety.  PSUs are both subject to wear, and capable of destroying every other component in the machine if the fail catastrophically.  So most of cost is making sure the thing lasts longer and is less likely to fail catastrophically.   For a short time, since there was t another option, one method was to drastically over assume with PSU wattage.  This is less necessary these days, and is less effective than getting a correctly sized PSU that is well made. 
Memory:

games need 8gb minimum.  Sometimes a touch more.  A touch more than 8gb due to the way dual channel works is 16gb.  So not quite enough or too much.  Things OTHER than games can sometimes use more though.  A lot more.  Genearly graphic arts stuff but occasionally other things as well.  Many such things require massively less than 8gb though. 
 

SO:

for CPU: something 8/16 or more if you want to make sure you won’t need to upgrade

for GPU: Something 2080 or bigger if you want to make sure you won’t need to upgrade

for PSU: something decent that won’t blow up

for storage: avoid HHD and be prepared for some sort of upgrade if you want to play newest video games

for memory: 16gb or fill the thing to the gills.
