Gaming, Streaming, and Editing System

[WeiersTeched]

I am wanting to build a new computer but I do not know what components will work the best for Streaming, Gaming and Video Editing. If you guys are interested in to helping me get this system components picked out that would be cool since this has been a long project in the work and I just want to get it done so I can get started interacting on YouTube with my new channel I just made but also get Live Gameplay going also.

On your first post, I give to you my 1000th!

 

I would go with nVidia GTX GPUs for streaming. Shadowplay is great with integrated Twitch streaming at the push of Alt+F8.

 

What is your budget?

[WeiersTeched]

Well I am having a budget of $3,000 and I am wanting to include custom water cooling also.

Wow. Nice. Mine is about that price. SLIghtly over. With a custom loop, you could probably expect $1000+/- just in cooling.

Choose the case you prefer and your water cooling and fans.

The mpower has water cooling built in. I picked 4 sticks of RAM because it looks better than watercooling 2 sticks. Everything is yellow, because YELLOW!

[WeiersTeched]

Well I was wanting 32GB of RAM and also maybe a ASUS Motherboard.

If you quote me, I will be notified that you posted. The Maximus VII Formula is not out yet. I guess...I can't find it for sale anywhere.

 

This is without the mobo. I'd expect the formula to be around $320...maybe more.

It may be better to wait until X99 releases or go with X79 if you're going all out on an editing workstation. Though Z97 will be great for gaming and editing. Hopefully someone else can chime in. It's better to get quality water cooling parts which will hit the budget pretty hard. The RAM color doesn't matter if a water block is going over it. I personally prefer msi boards.

Air cooling has come a long way, not to forget all-in-one CPU and GPU coolers. You could have a super beast PC if you stick with AIOs and air cooled mobo. And if you absolutely want to go custom loop, you could in the future, but my recommendation is to build the beast first.

You will also need an cheap HDD, eventually, for your backup and overflow. You could wait until you need the space or drop a 780 Ti and get another 850 pro. And again I left a bit of budget for your case.

[TymmVonD]

Please mention me in your build log.

Add a cpu block, pump, reservoir, radiators, etc. The H440 has lots of room for radiators.
