Hi, so recently ive been thinking of building a PC. But everyone ive posted on here theres always been too many improvements/upgrades and to be honest it just confuses me. So i would like if people could link me to some builds that have a budget of £1000/$1500. Make the best possible gaming/livestreaming PC that you possibly can.

Thanks.

Preferably 1080p/1440p either res is fine!

This would be good, maybe get a GTX 980Ti and remove the SSD (that will go like £50 over budget though).

That's over £100 over budget and the OP is in England. That equals £1095, but the PSU was not priced in UK Part Picker.

That's nice, but for streaming he's going to need an i7 and 16gb of ram. And with this sort of budget he should get at least a gold rated modular psu.

That's over 1/10 of the budget again... 16Gb maybe, but an I7 really isn't needed. Maybe a Xeon E3 1231 V3 though.

All the bells and whistles you could want, 4-core, 8-thread Xeon, 16GB just in case, SLI support if you ever wanted that sort of thing, 80+ Platinum, dead silent cooler, and a nonreference 980Ti. Briliant.

OK this is best. In budget, enough threads for streaming, 16Gb of RAM for streaming, and a beast GPU.
