erm... is this build for streaming and what not?

get a better cpu if that's the case

you wont be able to stream with that pentium, even with gpu encoding

 

what's your budget?

My rig is a G3258+960mini and i game most on max setting or atleast very high.

 

1) 1x8GB is better upgrade-wise then 2x4GB.

2) SSD is the cheapest component that amps up your user experience by miles, so atleast buy a 120GB ssd.

Before we can give you any opinions, could you tell us your:

Budget

Location: US, right?

Resolution you want to work or game at

Use cases (gaming, streaming, server, office work, video editing, CAD etc)

Any old desktop you have, and if yes, the specs.

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.

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.

well your spending more cash on a web cam and mic (not even counting the actiuall mic lol) then your CPU man. thats BAD, dont do that if you dont know that you REALLY need that webcam and mic and definatly not more then that pentium somehow

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I intend to use this to game, stream, record, edit, Skype, YouTube, schoolwork, everything. I am in the US, but my budget is fairly low, right around the $650 for the computer itself, and another $150 for everything else.

BTW, I stream with a 2.12 GHz Pentiumn P6200 in my laptop with Intel HD Arrandale graphics, but I'm looking for an actual desktop PC now.

what games are you looking to stream?

with $650 just for the tower, you can get something decent like an i5 6500 and an r9 380(x)

Minecraft, call of duty, several others. And my buddy that builds computers for a living told me to stay away from i3s, i5s, and r9s, I don't know why, but he did...

He says that i3s and i5s are wastes of money when you can get he same stuff in Pentiums, and it's unlocked...and I don't know about the gpu

i3 and i5 do cost more but they cost more for a good reason

the i3 6100 have 2 cores like the pentium but it has 4 threads, while the i5 6500 have 4 actual cores, so they'll beat the pentium in multitasking (such as streaming and skyping while gaming, though still not recommended for i3 and i5, unless the game isnt demanding)

 

gpu wise, just have to pair the proper gpu with cpu, and depends on the game you frequently play too

if the games are cpu heavy (like minecraft, arma 3 or some mmo) then get a strong cpu and cheap out slightly on the gpu side

if the games are well-optimized, then a balanced cpu and gpu config should help

 

if you wanna skype, stream and game at the same time, it's best you get an i5 6500

especially if you plan to do all these while playing minecraft

I plan on starting out with this dual core Pentium, and will upgrade to a 4790k eventually. It's a good starter CPU, and is very cheap. I don't have any problem with staying on Haswell for now... It's not super future proof, but that 4790k is quite a nice processor to upgrade to.

yea but you'll end up with a pentium lying around

i suggest you save up for that i7 or cheap out on some parts that can be added later instead of replaced

like mic and webcam and what not

Here is the link to the Amazon list. Everything is on it, except a desk and a microphone. Click Here

Here's a 1080p streaming desktop for $650.


Note that it doesn't include monitors, peripherals, or Windows. This is about the least I'd go for a streaming tower though. Below that you'll drop many frames if you try to stream 1080p.

Solid combo. He can get 8gb of ram for the mean time and just upgrade if he had a few bucks in hand, if ever the need for memory comes.

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600k 4.4GHz | Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z270F Gaming | Cooler: Cryorig H7 | RAM: GSkill Ripjaws V 8GB 2x4 3200 MHz | GPU: MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X | PSU: Seasonic G-550w 80+ Gold Certified, Semi Modular | Storage: 250GB Samsung 850 EVO, 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue | Case: NZXT S340 Elite (Black/Red) | Monitor: BenQ XL2411 144hz | Keyboard: Corsair STRAFE RGB Cherry MX Silent | Mouse: Corsair M65 Pro RGB
