planning first pc

[ChrisTheHunt]

- getting my first pc and i have questions

 

- QUESTION

- 1. which is more important for recording, streaming, and video editing a good cpu or a good gpu?

- 2. what kind would i need to stream csgo, far cry 4, gtav, and minecraft at nice resolution and framerates without any drops? (cpu and gpu please recomend a pair to get)

 

 

 

[connorpiper]

1. A good CPU. 

2. A 4960K (OC'd a bit) and a GTX 970. (Really the best combo right now) 

Though we don't know much about GTA V. 

[C_Mike]

Agreed CPU is more important. Its generally a lot easier to upgrade a GPU than a CPU. 

 

A 4690k and 970 is a good bet too.

2. A 4960K (OC'd a bit) and a GTX 970. (Really the best combo right now) 

so if i get a 4790k and a gtx 960 will i handle csgo, far cry 4, gtav, and minecraft at 1080p 60 fps on 1 montior and i have a second one for other stuff?

No GTX 970. NOT a GTX 960.

 

I can say a 970 can. But GTA V is not out yet. (So I don't know about that)

ok so a 4690k will edit video and stream no problems at all

The 4970K would be the next upgrade. But the 4690K will do it just fine. 

So, yes, it will.

ok i made a new post on a video card can you help me on that?

Yes, a GTX 970. Unless your budget is higher, than get a 980.

i would go with a locked xeon, since it costs the same as the 4690k but since it has hyperthreading it peoforms better in streaming and rendering videos

what is the diffeence bettween xeon and i5?

[ChrisTheHunt]

Yes, a GTX 970. Unless your budget is higher, than get a 980. 

is 980 worth that $200 more?

[connorpiper]

is 980 worth that $200 more?

 

Not really. It is a flagship card. The 970 is the best bang for the buck. While the 980 is a shiny thing.

8GB is enough, unless you are a internet tab hog. 

Budget for the case?
