First pc build gaming/streaming pc

[danthemandra]

Hey guys before I list any thing, I would like to thank you for helping a poor soul like me who knows nothing about oc building except my YouTube research the last 2 months, but I have made 100 of builds on pcpartpicker.com and this is one I am finally happy with or at least I think I am.

So my pc is going to be based out of the USA and as the title says, I am looking to make a pc that can play any AAA title game in the next two years that will be able to multitask without any lag or interruption caused by low quality parts. I am trying to break $3,300 with everything including the peripherals.

Down to brass tax.

My reasoning, I know that I can save money on the storage end but I also know that is where many "bottlenecks" occur. However I am willing to pay the premium for tomorrow's technology (storage that is) because I know that that is where most performance is dependent on. I know in game performance isn't really effected by storage but this is to get a really lightning fast and snappy computer. Anyways another one of my concerns is if the pcie ssd will be 100% compatible to this M/B. I remember watching a video with JJ the Asus guy and he was saying that the Intel 750 ssd is compatible with X99 boards but I just thought I needed a pcie X4 3.0 slot to put it in. And that was a big reason for me coming here in the first place. Enough jibber jabber. I just want to make sure the parts I picked are balanced and I am not overpaying for something not needed or something that will be a better alternative. I will try to keep an open discussion until I start buying parts and again thank you for reading and helping.

I also forgot to mention that I already have a M65 RGB corsair gaming mouse and my preferred gaming is FPS

seems solid

Build looks solid. I think you don't need to buy thermal paste, the cooler comes with it. Unless you're going to upgrade to SLI, that power supply is a bit overkill. 650-750w is the sweet spot. Compatibility across all parts look good.

Aside from the case being overkill it seems fine, though you could easily fit 2 980tis in that build and at that budget you should definitely be going for X99.

Anyways, just going to throw out the more performance per dollar build in that budget, you'll want a 2nd monitor to be sure for streaming.

You really don't need a 750SSD for streaming, and you'll want an HGST/Hitachi hard drive for your long term storage at that budget. Unless you're crazy like wendell and need like 2Gbps transfer speeds or just want them, even just a hard drive isn't going to hold back your recording to disk capabilities.

Get a 2x8GB memory kit instead of 4x4GB. Puts marginally less strain on the memory controller and leaves two memory slots free for an upgrade. Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory or Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory are reasonable choices.

 

Consider going with a motherboard that has dual channel a/b/g/n/ac WiFi and Bluetooth. Several choices. MSI Z97 XPOWER AC EATX LGA1150 Motherboard has a similar color scheme.

 

EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR and EVGA 220-GS-0850-V1 are better psu.

Wow I am so surprised to see so many people on this thread and I thank everyone of you guys.

Now why how would I benefit from buying an x99 board over this board
