Christmas Build

[Number 29]

Hi, about a week after Christmas I'll be ordering parts for one of my first computers, i aim to do livestreaming and light to moderate video editing and lots of gaming on it. my main goal for this build was to try and aim it at a price of $550 before rebates and this is what I was able to come up with, at first i was going to go with an i3-4150 but i think at this price point the amd fx-6300 is the best cpu in class for it. the video card is an r9 270 which i can hopefully overclock with ease.

Streaming with a 6300 is gonna be bad, try getting a 8350 and then youre fine!
