mITX Streaming/Editing PC

[AOGames]

I'm am looking to build a new streaming PC and I also want it to be mITX.

The games I stream are ranging from CS:GO, Fallout, Hearthstone, Witcher, etc.

Basically all games. My budget is 800-1000$ I don't have a preference between Intel and AMD

but I do want to build in the 250D, and I look to you forum to help me pick the parts. 

I run 60hz monitors so I'm not really concerned with getting the highest fps ever just one that doesn't

dip under 30.

Thank you all in advance for the help

a really nice case is the fractal node 304 in white <3<3<3. I love the look of that case.

 

EDIT- nvm, you said that you DO want the corsair, oops.

Alright, The reason I chose the Pentium, was because it is a great cheap cpu that will easily overclock like a boss, wich gives you moneyroom to get the 970. It is a little op for waht you want to do, but if you ever decide to play something more demanding in the future, it's there. as for the 16 gigs of ram, well, ddr3 is cheap these days , the case is the one you wanted, or you can choose the 304, and the psu is a good quality unit leaving you room to upgrade in the future. Then you've got a (shitty) copy of windows, my least favorite os, but you need it.

in the build you chose, you will want more than 250 gigs of hdd space, but taht can easily be added later. and for the games you will be playing, its better to have a little less cpu power and alot more gpu power. hence the 970 over the 960.

I went with the 250gb ssd because I already have a hdd and I went with a i5 with a 960 because of streaming

I got 2 Mini iTX rigs, and the one thing i really wanted was fan headers, and most only have 2 which is somewhat annoying, especially if you get an AIO where It can be run off a fan header, hence why I went with Asus Maximus VI Impact where its got 4 fan headers, and the Asus Z97-I Plus wheres its got 3 fan headers,

Keep in mind I got AUD pricing, and everything is jacked up down here in terms of price. If your looking to save some bucks go with a H97 board with a Non-overclockable i5

You may need an i7 like cpu for editing-streaming (xeon) and a 970
