Budget (including currency): $800-$1,110

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly Fortnite, GTA V, Valorant, Apex Legends, maybe Call of Duty Warzone.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I have my son purchase almost everything that he desires with his own hard-earned money. Please don't slam him with overpriced parts. Also make sure that the parts are in stock, especially on Amazon. And I want to surprise him with the same case I purchased, the Lian Li O11 Dynamic or "Regular"! Selling i5 9600KF, RX580 Asus ROG Strix 8GB, Team T-Force Delta 16GB 3000Mhz RGB White, CoolerMaster ML240L CPU cooler (AIO), Rosewill Prism S Lite Case, Seasonic Focus Gold 550 80+ Gold, Gigabyte Z390 UD Motherboard, HP EX920 256GB nvme SSD.

So is that the parts list you want us to critique and offer suggestions about?  Or did you purchase it all?

 

If you want to surprise him with that Lian Li case, why is the Rosewill case listed?

It says that it is the PC he is selling so he currently has that one but he wants to upgrade it with the money he will get from selling it.

I'd upgrade what he has.

 

But if he's selling it, no need to list it.  So you want us to build a better PC than he has for $1100?   

 

Btw, your post isn't all that clear, mashed together a bit and not explained well.

Yea sorry about that. But yes a better PC than he has. I listed the PC just in case you guys make a very similar PC and it ends up not being that much of an upgrade.

And he needs to sell it because he doesn't have the type of money to spend just buy selling a few parts and getting new, better ones so I thought he would be better off selling the whole thing to build a fresh system. And he's had it for a few years and I'm pretty sure he's grown tired of the basic PC case lol.

seriously those parts are already great, the thing i would recommend would be just to save up and upgrade the graphics card as that 9600kf is a really good cpu even today

IMO Upgrade the case to that lian li you want to give him, tell him to save up or sell the 580 to get a better graphics card and that thing will be great. i have a ryzen 5 3600 and back when i got it the only reason why i got it over the 9600kf was it was better with multithread performance and it was cheaper as i bought it in a bundle that 9600kf has better single core performance than my 3600 and for games i probably wont upgrade my CPU for at least another 2 years. for the budget i would suspect that he wouldn't get a major jump in performance for the cpu rather than if he save up for a new gpu.

He complained that when he's streaming for example Fortnite with StreamLabs then he opens up the browser to show something on stream, his usage peaks almost at 100% lagging his stream for everyone then the minimum is about 90% after that.

Now i understand why he wants to upgrade, AMD is best for streaming due to their better multithread performance which in my opinion is the platform he should upgrade to. ill see if i can make a pc in that currency but I'm Australian so ill try and put it all in USD. but out of curiousity the peak usage, is that on the cpu or gpu? im assuming the cpu

Yes, CPU. He says he can have GTA V or Fortnite open the same time as Roblox and they both run perfectly with the GPU at about %85-%90 which is good. I think the 8GB of VRAM really benefits with that. But the CPU usage is the main concern.

This is not a smart move.

An i7 or i9 should fix that.

Agreed,  probably an i7 9700kf should do the trick over getting a whole new system

What about the cheaper i7 9700?

but the board says that it can only take i7

It says i9.

By all means you can, but if he ever wanted to down the track he cant overclock

Yeah that was my bad i edited it after because i was reading off a retailer website and they didn't specify that my apologies

Yes it can take any LGA1151 CPU. But I'll sell his i5 9600KF to get the i7 9700 or the 9700KF and if the price is a little over, he can probably sell the AIO and get a cheaper, good air cooler or go from a 240mm AIO to a 120mm or something. I'll figure out the numbers. Thanks for the help guys.

lagging his stream

Wait one sec, I use to stream and record with a Core i5 7400 and a GTX 970, I think you may need adjust your obs and game settings.

I'm looking at his streamlabs setting and for the encoder he uses the GPU (AMD Encoder) with a 6000 bitrate. What games did you stream/record?

[MadAnt250]

Forza Motorsport, GTA V, BeamNG, Forza Horizon 4, Minecraft, streamed at 720p30, and recorded at 1080p.

How long has streamLabs been installed? Awhile ago I was having issues and needed to reinstall it.

He factory reset his PC about a month ago since he was having internet problem thinking that would solve it so whenever he installed it since. No longer than a couple months though. And he streams at 900p60 since we heard that it can handle 6k bitrate smoothly.

See if this helps:

Under General in the stettings check the "Disable hardware acceleration" (It was causing problems for me)

 

In Video:

Base res - 1080p

Output res - 1080p

Downscale filter - Bicubic

FPS type - Common fps

Common FPS Value - 60

 

In output:

Output res - 720p

Rate control - CBR

Bitrate -6000

Preset - Quality, performance or Max performance

Profile - High

Max B-frames - 2

All of those settings seem to be already in place.The output res is the only thing that he has different. I'll just upgrade his CPU, thanks.
