First Gaming/Streaming Build

[mutekkii]

Budget (including currency): 2000$ USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Im going to use my PC mainly for Fortnite, valorant, Apex, COD, and ill be streaming on OBS while i use these games probably.

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): 

 

After listening to many suggestions i have made some adjustments to my build and i think this build is suitable for what i am trying to accomplish. I want to be able to play many different titles of games and also be able to stream them while playing. I would like to maintain around 120fps while playing and streaming. If i am able to get the same functionality of a build for a little bit cheaper that would be great! 

 

I was told that i didnt need a 1000W PSU so i chose a different one let me know if its good too.

 

here is my build

i agree. Peerless Assassin or a Noctua option for your cooler would probably be a worthwile performance/noise upgrade.

The Phantom Spirit is actually better than the Peerless Assassin. It has 1 more Heat Pipe than the Assassin.

Hello... I was looking over your List and it looks OK but I made a few changes to make things better for your Budget. I Upgraded the Motherboard for a Better Model and I also changed the CPU Cooler for one that is a bit cheaper but still just as good (Same Brand but different Model w/ more ARGB on the Fans). I swapped the M.2 Drive to match the RAM Brand and it's a tiny bit cheaper and it has Better Reviews. The last major thing I changed it the PSU, the one you had is good but I swapped it for a more Efficient Brand that is ATX 3.0/PCIe 5.0 Ready which is much better for Power Consumption. I gave you 2 options for the Monitor, both are a bit bigger than what you had but not by much and one is a Ultra Wide, some people like them so I gave you that option.

 

I will be happy to answer any questions you might have and please let me know what you think.
