My First PC

So I'm building my first PC. I am NOT computer illiterate or anything but I've never built one from scratch. I've replaced laptop screens, hard drives, normal computer innards ya know, the usual. But, like I said its my first so it's gonna be my baby. I'm a twitch streamer so I need a really great setup. So far I'm looking at spending 1.1 G so far. I'm wiling on going 1.5 G but I will have to save A LOT. This build will be for a gaming build. I will provide my current pieces of hardware (NOT OS YET! Most likely going with Windows 8 however) with Amazon link.

 

Corsair CX Series 500 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 456 Power Supply CX500M

 

LG Electronics 14x SATA Blu-ray Internal Rewriter without Software, Black (WH14NS40)

 

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound 3.5 Grams

 

AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition

 

 

Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ32GX3M4X1600C10)

 

MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-G45 GAMING

 

 

ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX760 2GB GDDR5 256-bit, DVI-I/DVI-D/ HDMI/DP PCI-Express 3.0 SLI ready Graphic Card OC-selected 1072 MHz core

 

Cooler Master Seidon 120V - PC CPU Liquid Water Cooling System, All-In-One Kit with Compact 120mm Radiator and Fan

 

Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition Twin Pack Fan (CO-9050006-WW)

 

Feel free to provide constructive criticism! Anything helps!

Lets change things up a bit ok?

Lets keep the processors because its actually really good for streaming. Go for 8 gigs of ram. Go with a 990fx/970 motherboard and a r9 280x/290.

Other than that its fine

Hey there are some good and bad things about all the builds posted. Personally I don't care much for any of the psus listed because they are a bit overpriced for what they are. You can get an XFX 750 watt for $100 and those are one of the best (Seasonic OEM). There are definitely good ones out there for less than $100 since 750 watt is likely overkill for whatever gpu you might end up getting. If you let me know a budget, I can make a build for you but it'll have to be tomorrow because I'm going to sleep now. Also, if you are near a microcenter, you can save a alot on a cpu and motherboard combo from there.

You're overpaying on RAM, you only need 8GB even for streaming 1080p

edit: and AMD is tested to be better at streaming than intel (TekSyndicate video)

Linux "nerd".  If I helped you please like my post and maybe add me as a friend :)  ^_^!

If you're going to be using this for streaming along with gaming, I would opt for one of the AMD options that people have been posting. The extra cores give it a slight advantage when it comes to streaming and don't forget, it's cheaper too.

First, you should get the 4690k instead. It's the new cpu that is coming out on the 25th and it is the same price but better. 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372

Second, you're overpaying for RAM by $200. Having more ram does literally nothing. You're just throwing away $200. A cheap 8GB 1600 kit will do the same thing. 

Third, You don't need that network adapter. There is a built in one on the motherboard. 

Fourth, why do you need a blu ray reader? It's not worth it imo. No1 uses disks anymore. 

Fifth, you should get a better keyboard and mouse than that. 

 

Here is what I would recommend. This build blows yours out of the water. If you need more money for peripherals though you can drop down to an i5 4690k or a gtx 770 instead of a 780.

I'm sorry but I still see a lot of problems with that build. 

That power supply is cutting it very close to what you need. 550 watts would be what I would go for and the XFX is much better than the Corsair one for not much more. and again you do not need the network adapter. It literally does nothing. I still don't like those peripherals. You're basically paying for the lighting because there is nothing special about those. Also, the 780 is cheaper on Newegg so why not just get it there? That case is also pretty bad. It's not even worth $50. If you want a "gamer" looking case look into cooler master cases. 

The easiest thing to do is just take the part list I already gave you and add in things that you need. There is really no advantage to the $100 motherboard I picked and the $150 one you picked.

i forgot about the whole network adapter. i removed that. i replaced the power supply with an XFX PRO650W Core Edition 80+ Bronze ATX 650 Energy Star Certified Power Supply. The motherboard has an overclocker which is why its more expensive. I replaced the case with a 

Cooler Master HAF X - Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 Ports and Windowed Side Panel (RC-942-KKN1) after realizing what material it was made out of. I swapped the mouse with a Sentey® Gaming Mouse Revolution Pro-8200 DPI 11750fps Laser Mmo . I got rid of the the keyboard and replaced it with a Thermaltake Esports Challenger Pro USB Keyboard Red Illumination Back Light. I really like the fan because i get REALLY sweaty palms.

That case has an updated version on Amazon that looks the same and I actually have no idea what's different but it has a $20 MIR so might as well save $20.

That mouse does not seem to be worth the money. Stick with the good brands such as Logitech, Razer (Only for their deathadder), Mionix, Steelseries, and there are a few more. I suggest posting in the peripheral subforum and they'll help you out. 

Other than that it looks good.

thanks for that link! I prefer logitech for webcams. I like a mouse that i can completely encase with my hand and that looks to be a good size. if u have any other recommendations feel free to leave them. I'm happy that this build is still in my price range. I really appreciate all the help from you and others!

My favorite is Mionix Naos 7000 but it's a little bit pricey. Razer Deathadder 2013 is pretty good also. I don't really know of any other good mice so you would be better off talking to the peripheral subforum.
