I would like a PC that is capable of streaming to Twitch and is capable of Gaming however their are some rules.

- The PC can only use SSD's

- I have a budget of £700

- The PSU has to be corsair because it is the only brand I trust when it comes to power

- Capable of streaming at 60FPS for a majority of games at a resolution of 720p

- Has to be Skylake

Please bare in mind on OBS I would like to but not required to be able to have the x264 CPU preset to fast.

 

I would like to ask for anyone's advice on builds experience with streaming or not. Also what the best components are for the money.

Nothing in that build is more efficient than if you went haswell or just checked some reviews on other psus. (Have you never heard seasonic=safesonic?)

I was advised to go Skylake for encoding and I also would not be a generation behind. Also the I7 Skylake's have much better for performance than the I7 Haswell processors. But that is what I was told. Then shown a video of the I5 Skylake VS the I7 Haswell 4790k and 4770 on multiple games which the I5 Skylake was just as good as if not better in some games than the I7 Hawell. He used a Titan so there was no bottleneck.

It´s literally only like a 5% ipc improvment. Nothing else. It´s not worth shelling out the extra if you can´t currently afford it. That´s like saying the 3770k can´t be used for gaming anymore. It still kicks plenty of ass. I´m all for going for the newer gen if you can, but that´s only if your budget can compensate for it.

I "agreed" the build, but i think you should pick all components corsair if you can, so the case could maybe be corsair too you know:P
