Posted July 28, 2015 you mean the h.264 encoder because im not sure how cuda helps streamers. but the r9 390 also have a h.264 encoder and if its too expensive then of course get the one with the better value Yes the encoder to but if he sometimes wants to edit etc. then CUDA is VERRY handy and nice to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 28, 2015 my h60 is quiet, i don't hear a thing under normal operation. if he wants to get an air cooler for overclocking, i recommend the following: noctua nh-u12s noctua nh-u14s noctua nh-d14 noctua nh-d15 obviously the further you move down that list, the more expensive they get, but they will all work for a solid overclock. its usually better to get a noctua cooler than cheap AIOs because the noctua coolers usually perform better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 28, 2015 i never used CUDA so ill take your word for it but i would think amd has something similar AMD has kind of... both AMD and Nvidea support OpenCL but the problem is that vegas, premiere, blender, etc all only support CUDA. So I thing its basically same performance with the both cards. So simply get 970 to later have the option to use CUDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 28, 2015 Here is one i made with your suggestions but i did go over my budget by 300 dollers http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/f6gmzy h100 is overkill for the i5, h60 is all that is needed motherboard is too expensive ram is too expensive get a 2tb hdd, hybrid if u can afford it 390 beats the 970 case isn't that great. corsair or fractal psu is good noctua fans over corsair if you can afford it. if not, thats fine. not really needed though BigDay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 28, 2015 Here is one i made with your suggestions but i did go over my budget by 300 dollers http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/f6gmzy You don't need to spend $120 on a cooler. A $30 Air cooler like the Bequiet one above, or the Coolermaster Evo 212 will be fine. Change the SSD to the 850 Evo or Crucial BX100. The 840 Evo has a few issues.

Posted July 28, 2015 The build suggested above is much better, the i5 will be better than the 8350 even when recording or streaming in games sure but un streaming and editing no way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 28, 2015 If you are not into overclock i would suggest this build, u would benefit for both gaming and streaming http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/BXDNVn The site has changed....

Posted July 28, 2015 you could always go with a xeon chip instead. may provide better performance during streaming. during typical loads, i think the bequiet pure rock should be sufficient to cool it.
