[Maihym]

So I edited my build a little and I'm trying to make a computer for streaming and gaming at 1080p@60 FPS on very high to ultra settings. Here is the build, tell me what you think.

What is your budget? Get a GTX  980 or 980ti, they will kill the 390

My budget is around 1,000. If I want to upgrade in the future I will. But thank you for your advice. Do you think the storage will be alright though?

I almost forgot, get an SSD, and for the HDD size, only you can tell, If you like storing music, movies, or anything...you decide the HDD capacity, if you can, don't get Hitachi HDDs, I personally had one fail on me...

Different PSU. Get a minimum EVGA B2 but if you want a higher end EVGA GS or G2 series would,also be great.

How long was it after you got the HDD?

[shanmu54321]

Just add an ssd

I don't really need one right now but maybe in the future.

A-Data XPG V1.0 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory is a better memory choice as it would provide dual channel memory operation.

 

The hdd only has 32MB of cache. Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive would provide better performance, especially when used as a boot/system drive.

 

EVGA 220-GS-0650-V1 would be a better psu choice.

get two 4gb ram sticks for dual channel mode.

[DarkBlade2117]

What's wrong with the PSU that I have now?

It was made by FSP which are not very good. Get a evga GS or G2 series or at the very least a EVGA b2. EVGA along with other big companies like corsair take the internals from companies like SeaSonic, SuperFlower, or HEC and put their name on it.

What's the PSU? What's bad about it. Sometimes name brands aren't always the best.

the PSU you chose like I said was FSP. Anything by FSP just throws up red flags, no other real way to explain it other then unreliable. An EVGA GS or G2 series and maybe even a B2'will be much better in terms of reliability.

Ok well I need a PSU that has around the same wattage at a lower if not same price. Do you have any recommendations?

What if I just get the 600W power supply? If I want to do crossfire I would need to upgrade the PSU anyways.

[Nena Trinity]

i7+390 is a awesome combo!

Spend more on the psu!

 

A poor or bad PSU can have a deleterious effect on all other electronic components. It can cause premature death and/or system instability.

 

EVGA 110-B2-0750-VR is a decent unit.

[BigDay]

1. you need a better cpu cooling solution to seriously overclock your cpu

don't get the gigabyte board. it doesn't allow you to set adaptive voltage for your cache ratio and vring. asus, msi or asrockget a seagate or wdd hddget an ssdneed a better psu

[BigDay]

the 750b2 is made by superflower. solid psu

What if I just get the 600W PSU because it'll give me enough room to overclock a little and if I want to do crossfire I'm going to need a better PSU than a 750W anyways.

i dont think 600w would be enough for an overclocked cpu and gpu

[Maihym]

I don't even think I'm going to overclock the cpu because it's good enough at stock speeds.

if you're not going to overclock it, save money and buy an h97 board with a non k series cpu
