I'm making a $500 Gaming Computer that will be used for low end games (CS:GO, LOL, TF2, Rocket Leauge, Gary's Mod), and streaming. I will give some leg room on $500. I wanna keep it to an Intel CPU (If it is Skylake, than DDR4 too). If you can find a cheaper case, I won't mind as long as the extra money is put into the GPU or something. Otherwise, Thoughts?

If you can spare the extra $10 and rebates, then this is what I'd get if I were you:

Using the iGPU of the i5 should work just fine for streaming to twitch, and while the R7 370 isn't the best GPU, the GPU is the first component that gets replaced in the build and the i5 in this should last a long time.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.
