Youtube/gaming/streaming pc

I feel like we've had this thread before...the point of the DEVIL 390X is to shoot for silence

Long repost

Spoiler

Silence optimized case, Water cooled GPU/CPU, a 390X is overkill for 1080p ya but I think it's the least expensive/best water cooled card for the money, and the CPU is probably overkill, but at a 2K budget, easily worth it for the long run

 

your are definitely going to want 2 displays, one for gameplay, one for monitoring your stream

 

Monitor Mounts

http://www.amazon.com/Mount--MI-752-Adjustable-Desktop-Monitors/dp/B0052AWGLE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1458881118&sr=8-5&keywords=Monitor+Mount


As for your microphone, I'd say just get like a samson GO mic, cheap, and you can just clip it onto something, works really well to start, buy your Yeit with arm after you really get into streaming if you really get into it, just throw like a sock or something on the mic for your pop filter, or just buy one, they're like 7 bucks for a basic one with a flexible arm

http://www.amazon.com/Samson-Mic-Portable-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B001R76D42

http://www.amazon.com/Dragonpad-filter-Microphone-Flexible-Gooseneck/dp/B008AOH1O6/ref=sr_1_4?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1458881298&sr=1-4&keywords=pop+filter

Also you're going to want closed headphones most likely to keep the noise from leaking out and getting picked up by the mic

And if you want a 1440p primary display, this one is IPS $335 still has a VESA mount, but maybe just put that money towards a 4k primary display at some point, they start at around 500 for a 4k IPS 27" free-sync display

https://pcpartpicker.com/part/acer-monitor-umhx2aa001

You could also for around $261 get a 144hz 1080p TN Free-sync primary display for gaming, which would give the 390X much more of a workout

I know but other people said get a different cpu and gpu so i decided to just start another one

Even if you were getting a 1440p 144hz display, you'd want the free-sync one, as it's less expensive than the G-sync one, so you'd probably want an AMD card in that case, but unless you were getting said display which would limit other hardware, you'd want a GPU that would simply be good for your display and quiet. a 390X is going to be more than enough for 1080p 144hz gaming for most games.

 

if your focus is on streaming/video editing, you're going to want a 5820K for that budget, and you're going to want a quiet PC, which a watercooled GPU and CPU will give you.

CPUs aren't going to change much, however GPUs will in a few months, which is why I'd probably hold back from getting the highest end GPU

 

and as I've said, for 1080p 144hz, a 390X is already going to be good enough to run games for that display.

Why? NVIDIA ShadowPlay is basically perfect.

You're going to get higher quality with OBS, and if he's getting a 5820K like he should he'll have plenty of CPU performance for OBS
