Help! new Computer Build

[tracer0311]

Hello everyone.

 

I need help this summer i am planning on my first computer build. problem is i mostly play on consoles. my current computer is about 5 years old and the only thing i have ever done to it is a new GPU.

my budget is around $1500.00. my main goal is gaming @ 1080P and would like 2 monitors. i wanna be able to stream and maybe capture also.

 

what i have been thinking of is doing a intel 4770k with a MSI z87-g45 mother board. MSI N770TF GPU, corsair HX750, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2x8GB) 1866,Samsung 840 evo SSD 120GB, computer case either Corsair 760T or 450D. probably 1 or 2tb harddrive by seagate barracuda. i would like this computer to last 4 or 5 years with minor upgrades. 

 

What does everone think about this? do you think its over kill for what im planning on doing? what would you suggest i do? i am fine with AMD or Intel.

 

thank you for everything and i hope to hear alot of great ideas..

I'd personally get a I5 4670k and a GTX 780. The i7 would help with streaming and capturing footage. But unless its something that you're 100% going to be doing all the time I'd probably recommend a better GPU. (You probably wouldn't need the 16gb of ram either, 8gb would most likely suffice.) Other then that, solid build.

Do you think amd 8350 over the i5?

If you don't care about the performance deficit in games or you want the lower price tag, then sure.

 

They're both great. I hate the look of most AMD boards with their extra chipset heatsink sandwiched in between the socket and PCIe slot, but that's just me.

 

I would probably go with a better power supply. Sure, EVGA is a good brand but they haven't relied on very good OEMs for their PSUs and that shows in their performance. I don't think you need a 750W supply for a single GTX780.
