So I'm looking to make a gaming PC that can run Csgo and stream it at 100+fps and be able to atleast play Arma 3 aswell.

 

im on a really tight budget of around 300-435$ 

 

So far here's what I have 

 

Intel pentium G3258 

cooler : Hyper 212 Evo ( OC) 

Mobo : HSROCK H97 ATX 

1TB Seagate Hybrid 

DDR3 8gb ( gonna add another 8gb soon ) crucial ballistix sport

gtx 750 ti ( pcpartpicker doesn't have any regular 750 and the ones they do have are over 180$ 

corsair 200r

450W power supply, 

logitech g303

CM Quickfire TK 

and creative labs fatality 

can anyone give me tips on this to make it cheaper? /: but still good performance to run Csgo and stream at 100+fps ?

When you say stream do you mean in house streaming or twitch cause twitch is capped at 60 i believe but 100fps in house only good if your monitor is over 60Hrz. though the 750Ti is a beast of a card, especially when OCed. pretty decent build though. maybe re use stuff you already got like PSU or case or ram ect if you have any on a current computer or something, good way to save a bit of money if its good working stuff.
if you dont plan on OCing the CPU maybe even knock off the custom cooler to save a bit of money.
Also probably better two have the same sticks of RAM but 1x8 should be enough for that sorta gaming. 16 preferable though
And IMO a $27.50 headset is probably going to be shit.

I saw a review of it and the mic quality is beast and they said the sound aswell was pretty good aswell. Any tips though on lowering the price below $435? That's what I generally would want if I could get over 500$ but I can't and I'm locked at 300$-435ish dollars and I meant twitch streaming but by I meant by me still getting over 100+fps cause I know streaming does take a toll a on your fps

My brother has gone threw many cheap headsets and it usally always ends up with something breaking, so dont get me wrong it could be good its more just personal experience.

But if your talking USD its going to be hard to get lower, maybe think about second hand parts. can possibly be risky but things like RAM Case  should be fine second hand. i bought my old 750Ti second hand and was able to push a 17% OC on it fine for just over a year before i upgraded to a 980Ti
But maybe even look at buying a CPU with integrated graphics for now and buying a dedicated GPU later.

Peripherals are really the only thing you can cut down on. You could also shave off the cpu cooler and just use the stock one that comes with your processor. I would recommend just waiting until you can buy the current parts list.

I have many leather-bound books.

Overclocking apparently helps with performance, massively when it comes to the pentium g32

 

how ow about this one ?

It is do-able. Bare in mind you are still going to have to spend money on a mouse and keyboard. Again, if I were you, I would make sure I am purchasing something I will be happy with. Weigh instant-gratification and reason. But by all means if this build satisfies your needs pull the trigger! :)

change the 860k to the x4 845(same performance for less), the 400w psu to an antec vp-450/evga w1 500w/430w and maybe the gtx 750ti to a gtx 950 and you should be fine.

IN pclartpicier there is no vp450, and so I just settled with the 400w and the 950 is a little bit too expensive, what about the memory? /Hybrid? Would you recommend that or just get a regular HDD.

This build works with Skylake, which means you can upgrade later in the future without rebuilding your whole PC. It's also fast enough to run games at 1080p @60 fps, and it'll definitely run CS:GO and Arma 3, no issues. One of the thing that is left out of the build is a cooler, I suggest you save up enough later to purchase a $24 Hyper Evo 212 later. I also suggest you save up to purchase a better PSU that is gold standard.

the i3 has a stock cooler, no need to get an aftermarket cooler. 2gb isn't enough for games anymore, go with the 4gb r9 380. also, build would go over budget with the peripherals he wanted(its already over budget without).

Your build isn't any better, why try to strike mines? My build includes the Skylake that he can upgrade into the future if he wanted. I still highly suggest a cooler even with his stock, with the hyper 212 he can reuse it when he gets an i7 later, if he chooses. The R9 380, I didn't see it was a 2GB, I thought it was 4GB. But yes, I recommend 4GB. Everything else, I stand behind, your build, I do not. I highly suggest he doesn't even go your route.

i'm just pointing out a few flaws, no need to get crazy over it.
