Hello,

    I'm a content creator (Youtube & Twitch) so i need a build that would allow me to stream most games (mainly CSGO, Minecraft And H1Z1) at a fluent 60 FPS with a resolution of 1920x1080, with duel 144hz monitors. I have a PC that i made in 2013. But this PC was not good enough for my needs, not to mention that i spilled tea all inside it. I would also like to have the choice to upgrade this new PC in the future, if $1,000 does not seem like enough i would go over some but no more the $1,200. I'm also going to be buying it piece by piece until i have them all. I already have a Corsair keyboard, Razer Deathadder, and a blue yeti microphone. i would not need any other peripherals. also don't include the monitors in the price because i will just get those in the future. I already have two crap monitors that will due fine until i get the cash to upgrade. 

 

So to sum this up i need a PC that will be good at streaming, rendering and recording on top of being able to game. The cost would need to be around $800 - $1,200 the lower the better, i want as much bang for my buck that i can have. As for the case i would want something that has a windowed side panel and plenty of space for upgrades other then that its good.

 

Thanks for reading any help would be great!  :)

Why would you get duel 144Hz monitors? That just sounds like a waste imo...

It will run anything on ultra at 1080p.  You could also pay ~$10 more for an 850w version of that PSU then Crossfire the 390X's later down the road.
