Do you want an OS included? What about peripherals like a keyboard and mouse?

Hello there, 

 

I want to start building a PC since the old one is getting, well yeah... old. 

 

Budget : 1600$

Aim: PC and a little bit of video editting/streaming

 

Need any other info? 

 

Thanks already!

 

What does PC and a little bit of editing/streaming mean?

Why the i5 over the FX-8350?

Peripherals like mouse, keyboard headset i got. Razor Ouroboros, tactic X alienware and logitech headset (something like that) 

I Honestly don't have any idea about my current build since it was prebuilt the only things i know are:

Intel Core i5-3550 CPU @ 3.30 GHZ

8GB RAM ( upgraded it about a year ago from 4)

OS can be excluded

 

O and i meant Gaming, not PC xD

Would this setup have a bottleneck? Im always worried about bottlenecks and maybe this CPU is better than i think but for some reason I get the impression that the world of GPUs are far ahead of the CPUs. Maybe im wrong. like some people think a amd fx6300 would be eclipsed by a r9 290. I dont know if it really would or not... I feel if such case were true, this cpu though much more powerful, would be bottlenecked by two great GPUs.

I picked the i7 because you're streaming and such. Even an i5 wouldn't really bottleneck these GPUs much. Don't worry about bottlenecks with this.

The 600B has good reviews... Throw your money down the toilet if you want though I guess...

It doesn't have enough pci-e connectors for starters. It is a decent 'budget' level unit, but I would want something better for running 2 x GTX 970's and an i7 4790K. And getting a better power supply isn't throwing your money down the toilet seeing as it is the most important component in the entire pc  :rolleyes:
