Gaming/ editing rig

[Mr_Ballista]

Hey guys, i live in Australia and i want to build a gaming/ editing rig for YouTube. now i do have some requirements, must have 2 monitors, must be under $1500, must be able to render at 1080p relatively fast and must have the ability to have recording software running at the same time as the game. Any suggestions.

Thanks

An Intel CPU at that pricepoint will perform much better.

I was looking at overclocking. And AMD would be the best. And he also wants an os and monitor and stuff. Basically he has nothing but $1500

This!  No point of jumping one month before the brand new cards come and you get stuck with old tech...

My tactic is: Get a cheapest Xeon with the cheapest motherboard for it and go for everything cheapest, case, RAM, HDD and a good value (not the cheapest) power supply. Spend the rest on a GPU.

 

This works great, even for budget builds (in which case get either an i5 or an AMD A10/FX)

That Xeon doesn't even have hyperthreading so it wouldn't be any better than an i5. You realise that the LGA1155 platform is obsolete ? There has been LGA1150 (Haswell) and LGA1151 (Skylake) since then.

Yes I do.

But still, it gives great value for the money.
