Hello all, new to the community (I watch Linus's youtube videos a lot).

My budget is 1300$ USD I can stretch it to maybe to 1400$ but would like to keep it around 1300$.

Looking to play some new games but mostly older games. I am looking to start recording gameplay for youtube, but would like a more future proof GPU (if at all possible but no Titans). Also looking to play at or above 1080p Tbh I haven't looked too much into resolution though I do play at 1080p now. I would like a Razer seiren and a nice pair of headphones.

 

Thanks in advance. 

If i didn't cover something just let me know so I can fix it.

Couldn't get a 980Ti since the microphone eats up a bit of the budget, but this should handle 1440p gaming quite well:

If it is a better investment then i can let the razer go.
