Need help with first build!

[BlakeH]

Ive been doing alot of reasearch and have been trying to get the best bang for my buck... Im looking to build a pc for streaming/editing and mainly gaming smoothly with games at max settings. Made a list of everything i would need and want to do so have a budget of around $1500-2000 for everything. Any suggestions on how to make it better and or cheaper? Anything would help! Thanks in advance!

Don't get the Kraken. You can get a nicer pair for the same or less price. Consult audio forum for pointers.

Don't get a Blu-Ray reader. I'm pretty sure you don't need it. If you do, go ahead, though.

Get a better PSU. I've heard some horror stories about these CX series, spending just a few dollars more can get you a whole lot more.

Get an nVidia GPU if you're editing for CUDA acceleration.

Don't get that thermal compound. There is stuff included.

 

Last but not least

A Xeon or Core series is much faster for less or the same money. FX is from 2011. Don't even bother.

 

Your build is veryveryvery similar to some previous builds here, all posted by 1-post-wonders. I'm smelling a troll around here.

If you want to stream and edit, I'd try and go for a 4790k if you can fit it within your budget. Build looks good overall and you haven't went overkill with the PSU which is good for you. I'd try and perhaps go for some slightly higher speed RAM even 1600 would do!

 

Overall looks nice and you've done well to think it out if it's your first build!

You would get better performance swapping the fx for an i5 quad core 4690k. But these means you'd have to swap the mobo aswell, so I'd go for the msi gaming 5.

That build looks fine!

I don't see anything wrong with that.

 

Personally, I wouldn't pay for Windows (re-use your current key if you want to be semi-legit, I've re-used keys on multiple systems and it worked fine, at least with Win7) and just get better hardware instead, but if you wanna be super legit then go ahead.
