Ok, im new to computer building, and would like to build a nice rig for Gaming and streaming. I would like to start from the ground up.  The computer i have now, is alright, but id like to put some blood and sweat (and even all of my hard earned money) into something that is my own. No real budget set, but i make about $255 USD/ a week where i work at. so i cant spend ungodly amounts of money every week to get what i need. Here's a list of parts that i need (will update it as i get them):

 

  • Case
  • CPU
  • Memory
  • Motherboard
  • Graphics card
  • Storage
  • PSU
  • CPU Cooler/fan

Thanks for any and all help given!

Ok, 16 GB of ram is usually the best for streaming. This to yo get more SSD storage and a power supply that has a really good reputation

What if we cut out the streaming thing, and just use it for gaming/web surfing? What kinda things could we scale back on?

Ram to 8 GB
