Good streaming/gaming computer?

[MattTheMayor]

Hey. I'm helping my friend out with his build list. He's a streamer (Thanks4TheDome) and he is hoping to stream some games soon. He needs help getting the other stuff (PSU, Mobo, RAM, etc..) 

 

He lives in USA (Cali)

 

Building for streaming/gaming

 

I don't think he has a budget, but he just wants good stuff for a reasonable price.

 

Running 2 monitors.

 

Peripherals are already handled with.

 

He already has/going to get:

 

i7-4770k

ASUS 760 Direct CU II

 

Please reply ASAP.

 

Thanks!

The 4770K will be bottlenecked by the 750Ti. The graphics card itself won't be powerful enough to stream. A GTX 760 or better would be recommended.

A 4770k and 750ti? I think not.

Yeah, that's what I said. So I'm thinking about the ASUS 760 Direct CU II. Changing the OP right now

It's more of an OCD thing for me, I would prefer a GTX 770 with an i7.

Don't listen to me.

My brain says it's perfectly fine. You might drop some FPS and it might fluctuate. 

But not bad for the price. SLIing the GTX 760 will give you a big performance boost and you'll won't have to worry about it for a long time.

Is a copy of Windows needed?

Rough budget would help. 

 

Has he bought the 4770k and 760 already?

gtx 770 better or 780 if possible
