PC Configuration

[Nestrew]

Hello,everybody.First of all I'm sorry if im posting this in the wrong place.
So here is my problem: I'm not that knowledgable about computers and I've decided to build a new one.Considering the fact that i don't know anyone
who knows enough about PC's to help me i decided to explain what I'm looking for,my budget and what I'm thinking of getting and see people's opinions.

So what I'm looking to build is a gaming PC with the capacity to stream new games as well as the option to dual screen and my budget is 850 pounds or 1200 euros.
Here is what I'm thinking about right now.There is some room for upgrade,thus im here.

 

MB : MSI 970 Gaming

SSD: KINGSTON SSDNow V300 240GB SATA3 2.5 "(7mm height)

Case: ANTEC One Gaming Case

Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB black DIMM Kit PC3-12800U

HDD: TOSHIBA DT01ACA Series 1000GB, SATA 6Gb / s

Power Supply : BE QUIET! Pure Power L8 730W Cable Management

Graphics Card : ASUS GTX960-STRIX-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 960 2GB GDDR5,

CPU : AMD FX-8370, 8x 4.00GHz, boxed

 

My questions are: What would u change here (and why I'd like to learn ) What do you think i should upgrade ( i still have a bit of money ) and feel free to suggest a setup with the budget in mind.Thank you very much for all your help in advance.

First of all, the correct place to past this is here: http://linustechtips.com/main/forum/18-new-builds-and-planning/

But for now, no worries.

 

Ok, what I would change first of all is, get a different SSD.

The one you now is not that good.

Take a look at the Crucial MX100 SDD's.

 

What I would also change is the CPU, I understand you want to stream, but you are better off with the Intel platform IMHO.

I would also get a R9 280 or R9 280X instead of the GTX 960, because of the 3GB VRAM these cards have.

 

Rest seems fine (please note that you have to change motherboard if you change CPU to Intel, but not sure what to recommend )

SSD- Samsung EVO/ i have one of these and i love em. i bet others are good but i love my samsung. also they are very popular.

CASE- R5 / sound damping foam, also good airflow/cable management holes

CPU-i5 4690k or i5 4590/4460 if no Oc Because intel have better cpus, stronger cores.

MOBO-MSI Gaming z97-Asus z97 A, asus ROG series, MSI krait z97

 

Happy building mate

Okey, for 1200 Euros i would get this,

 

SSD: Intel 530 240GB

Case: Fractal Design R5

CPU: i5 4690K

RAM: 16GB HyperX Fury

MOBO: MSI Z97 Gaming 3

PSU: Cooler Master V650S

GPU: Asus GTX 970 Strix

Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 12 EVO

 

So in your case i would change the CPU (for an i5) and MOBO, the i5 can you change later on to an i7 for better streaming. I would also change the GPU if you have the money to an GTX 970 since you get more VRAM for the dual screens. Maybe also the PSU since you wont need 700W
