I want to be able to Stream and Record games at high FPS is this good for that? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6z9C99

That is actually a very bad build, please fill in this form and i'll help you further:

 

 

 

1. Budget & Location

You may have listed a heap of parts that all add up to your preferred budget but it is easier if you just list the total amount you'd like to spend and the currency as well as if you'd consider going above that budget for more performance. We need the location as well because $US are different to $AUD and $CAD ect.

2. Aim

What is the system going to be used for? Web browsing, 3D work? Different systems need different levels of performance - a computer based for web browsing and office use won't handle heavy graphic design and video editing and a proper video editing system isn't good for gaming. If your aim is for gaming, please list what sort of gaming. In the same way that different usage types need different systems, you'll need a lot more power to run Far Cry 3 or Crysis 2 than you would Minecraft.

3. Monitors

How many monitors do you plan on running? Do you plan on moving to more monitors in the future? What resolution are they at too?

4. Peripherals

Do you also need to purchase peripherals such as keyboards and mice as well as monitors ect. Also please tell us if you'll need an OS such as Windows.

5. Why are you upgrading?

We ask this because you may see upgrading as the only path to solve an issue but things such as driver updates, reconfiguration or cleaning can boost performance without spending a cent.

Interested in Business and Technology

Nononononnonononnononono... NO... NO NO NO NO NO!!!

 

8gb of ram is enough ( 1600mhz or higher)

 

Get at least a mid-end gpu in there. Id go for something like a r9 280x or gtx 770

 

CPU, id go for something like better for gaming, I5?  ( idk if i7 helps with streaming)

 

I'd also get more space, 2TB - 4TB fraps can be demanding sometimes ;p

 

P.S.  And if you wanna be really badass then save up for this badboy. http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Closed-Cooling-Graphics-R9295X8QFA/dp/B00JOQZ4XE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423267139&sr=8-1&keywords=r9+295x2

Go to a local store and pick up a Mouse+keyboard combo you like. You should not buy them through the internet, as they are "personal" and you may not like the feel. If you are going to record, not only stream, get a 1 or 2 TB HDDs.

an 8350 is better for streaming imo, because of the extra cores, and is a little cheaper :D

with all fx CPUs the minimum fps in games (the one that matters the most) is usually crap, just get a locked i5 like a 4440 and use OBS with intel quicksync

Yeah im pretty sure it is but i had it and changed to an i5 and got like 10-15fps extra (in some games), but for the price the FX 8350 is just epic ( got it for £99)

That any good?

  1. You can save some money (and get better performance) by going this RAM instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f314900cl10s8gbxl
  2. You can save some money by going this HD instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st1000dm003
  3. You can save some money by going this GPU instead. In fact, you should even do it, as your PSU only has 1 8pin cable. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-strixgtx970dc2oc4gd5
