Help with making my build a little cheaper

VonProdigy

Hey guys, I'm having a lot of trouble putting together a build lower than $1,500. Can you guys/girls edit this list to make it cheaper? I would like to Stream games maxed out with 60+ FPS. I plan on playing CS:GO, GTA, and Day Z etc...

 

Thanks :)

It's a 1080p screen, and while 144hz, games like CS:GO are where it really matters and this'll do that no problem. For GTAV, you'll still hit high framerates (60+) with the R9 390 at max/ultra settings, just not 144 fps. You can lower GPU settings if you want the high framerates, but CPU load will be a real limiting factor unless you lower things like traffic and render distance. Your CPU choice sucked if you want to stream to twitch and use proper hardware encoding instead of QuickSync or Shadowplay which results in lower quality per bitrate streams. The i7-5820k is definitely worth it.

Also, ping is dependent on your internet connection and distance/path to server. Your own system has no effect.

Go with this one.

Go with the build with the 5820k that guy linked, it will do what you want perfectly.

 

also its 60 FPS (frames-per-second), ping refers to the time it takes a packet to be sent over a network and is unrelated.

Oh, did I really write ping instead of fps? I must have been really tired lol. Thanks :)
