Suggestion for editing/gaming PC

[Simon Arnhild]

Hallo all you awesome people!

 

I was wondering, if the following parts would ad up to a good PC for editing, streaming and recording games.

Since it is mostly for gaming and editing the pc should be able to run some of the newer games in good quality.

Everything looks great! However, honestly, unless you're willing to go with a custom-loop, I would really recommend looking into getting any Noctua or Phanteks heatsink instead of that Kelvin S36. Also, you may want to look into the new CoolerMaster MasterAir Maker 8.

[Simon Arnhild]

so instead of a AIO liquid coolers, you suggest Air coolers would be sufficient?

 

Also to note, i do not plan to overclock the system

[Moonzy]

how often are you editing?

i would suggest getting the 6700k for better gaming performance but slightly lower editing performance if you game more often than you edit

get a samsung or intel ssd, they tend to be more reliable

and if you edit videos a lot, might wanna check out m.2 storage solutions for faster performance

the hyper 212 x or hyper 212 evo will do you just fine then if you're not going to OC

or get a beefy cooler and remove the fans if you want silence

If you don't want to overclock don't get a ''k'' processor. like the guy above said a 6700  would be good. Also air cooler if you won't overclock.

The only gripe I have with this config is that the BX200 performs extremely poorly in write intensive workloads.

For example the BX100, MX 200, Samsung 850 Evo, OCZ Arc 100, Adata SP 920 or SX 930 would all be much better choices.

Giving up two cores really isn't worth it.

[Simon Arnhild]

i imagine myself doing a roughly 60-40% gaming/editing!

 

And i do think i will switch out for an air cooler instead.

 

Thanks ALOT you guys, this community keeps on giving!
