It´d help to know what you already have and what your budget is. Also, use PCPartpicker.

Do you have any parts yet? Do you only need peripherals, OS, monitor etc?

exclusives? I assume you refer to exclusive technologies, which hardly are ever used properly or have an AMD alternative that with more options and to no price premium.

I have all my parts sorted, and im no tech expert but I can only imagine that the gpu is one of the most important parts of the build. so im trying to get some feedback.

Anything but an Asus 300 series pls. Coolers are shitty. Also, @TechGuyMark A 380 will outperform a 960 and 950 easily.

Quite a lot of people hate Geforce experience and quite a lot of people say OBS is better than Shadowplay.

Get the R9 380. Don't get the ASUS or Gigabyte version of it. Also make sure to get the one with 4 GB of RAM and not 2.

...why? It's a non-K chip. If any upgrade is needed at all, a $10 downdraft cooler can handle it quietly.

AMD has Radeon Software which is functionally identical but better looking.

And AMD has Rptr instead of Shadowplay but Shadowplay is superior to Rptr. True alternatives to Shadowplay is GameDVR which comes pre-installed with windows 10 (not even touching on the countless other recording and streaming clients there are)
