i am wanting to build my first pc with my taxes, so im looking for around 800, i am also trying to safe some money so a little more is also possible. 

so i have came up with two builds one is a amd, and the other is intel, any feed back or ideals on how i could get more bang for my buck would be great...

 

 

i am looking to be able to stream to twich, make some youtube vids amd play games, minecraft, LoL, tf2, cs,go, ark, and h1z1. with more as i get back into gaming. i have been without a computer for about a year now i miss gaming a lot.

I have only looked at the Intel build so far. I think you're spending too much on the case. You can also get a cheaper motherboard and put the money you just saved into a better GPU. And 6400T does not sound like a good path with a Z170 motherboard.

The 8 threads of the Xeon would be great for streaming and it's fine for gaming so yeah. Also, PSU is much better quality in this build and the 380X is superior to the 370 in every way.

 

so im really new to the building world so im not 100% sure what ya'll just said

BCLK overclocking is a way to overclock by adjusting the BCLK of the CPU. Completely optional. Also, welcome to the forums :D Please remember to follow your own threads.

Is there any way to chip some off the price?
