First build. Need help with everything

AxisF · July 19, 2015

Hey guys. I am looking to build my first pc but I am oblivious to most of the stuff that is needed for what i want. I want to be able to run most games including major title games that require good graphics, and will also be using my pc to stream. I have a budget of around $1000 but will pay a little extra if necessary. I don't know what is recommended for streaming that will also work well with running the best of games and I'd like to hear your opinions and knowledge on that. I've been a console peasant my whole life and will like to experience the good life as well. Any help you guys can provide is much appreciated .

I will help! Give me a minute...

I chose the "moar core" route as streaming and gaming can be intensive on the CPU. And if one of you sorry-butt Intel losers come in and tell me everythings wrong with it.... you opened the wrong can of worms. And inside? An angry black widow nest.

Shoot, PSU might be a little lackluster. I suggest going with a good 750W unit.

How funny, you've just set my trap card...

gimmie a minute.

AxisF · July 19, 2015

Thanks noob builder. From what ive heard isnt intel a tad better than amd? I know they each have their own thing. but I'm just curious.

ilikemacandpc · July 19, 2015

NOO @TheNoobBuilder

The FX Series are NOT worth the money. Poor IPC and too much heat and power consumption.

Give me 20 minutes to make a really good build.

AxisF · July 19, 2015

What would you recommend ace?

AxisF · July 19, 2015

Okay, thanks macandpc!

TheN00bBuilder · July 19, 2015

LOOK AT THAT OMG AHEAD OF YOUR SO FAMED 4770K. What a surprise.

TheN00bBuilder · July 19, 2015

Okay, thanks macandpc!

Axis, please don't get sucked in. He has no idea what he is talking about.

AxisF · July 19, 2015

I would say I'm willing to go to $1100 but I also want to save some money for peripherals. Either way its fine.

Haha I'm just keeping an open ear to both sides and I appreciate everyones contributions. I wouldn't know myself which is better other than the screenshots you posted.

Also, more cores = more multitasking. Soon Intel CPUs will be obsolete due to them not having enough cores for games. Games are getting more and more advanced. More and more cores are needed.
