Stream/Record PC

Hello guys,
So i want to make a new PC this summer cause my laptop isnt enough for what i'd like to do.
As the title says, i'd like a PC that will be able to record/stream CS:GO and record Battlefield 1
but the budget is a bit small .. is only 800 pounds with the monitor but without the OS and the parts can only be from amazon.co.uk.
Could anyone help ?.. I was thinking maybe a cheap xeon would do the work .. i am not sure though..
btw should i wait for Polaris or Zen? Also is there a way to fit an non-overclockable i7 in there ? 

Thank you in advance,

MikeKats

definately wait for polaris. zen, it depends on when youre building, but amd seems to be releasing 8 cores first so it might not even fit your budget. its just a little overbudget, but i dont really recommend getting a cheaper mobo that this (its z97 because its the same price as an h97, and has better features)

Thank you very much .. i will probably order the parts very soon ... so you think that waiting for zen is not worth it ? ( i saw you put an RX 480 .. is it going to perform better than a 380x ? )

The 480 is supposed to perform like a 390X/Fury. Zen could be a hit or miss, and it's supposed to be formally announced in Q4 this year.

Both of you recomended the same xeon. I saw it has hyperthreading .. but i cant find any benchmarks on games ... i guess as a xeon it will be good on streaming and recording though. btw .. i want to have the pc ready as soon as possible.. but if its worth w8ing for zen ill do it i guess ... do we know a release date of Zen ?

It'll be fine for gaming. It's pretty much a 4770 without the iGPU (which you won't need).
