Best Desktop Build for gaming 600-800$?

[Trollz23]

so im looking to build a gaming PC and quite frankly I have no idea where to start. I want it to be able to run games at a decent frame rate with good graphics and as a side note I am thinking about streaming so it needs to be able to multitask without slowing down. I'm not really sure where I should start and any help at all will be appreciated.

need os/monitor/peripherals?

Does your budget include peripherals, or are they seperate? And do you have any spare parts? Maybe an old SSD or HDD?

all I have for spare "parts" is a gaming mouse, a crappy old monitor, and a keyboard that's okay

I'd suggest going with something like this, you could change some parts around and find out what suits you the best.

Main differences:

• Processor
  • The i5-6400 is a solid all-around gaming/editing CPU, but if you're streaming while playing GTA 5 or anything nutty like that, you'll push it to its limits. The i7-6700 has twice the threads and a lot more horsepower, and can handle gaming, streaming and content editing. If you want to overclock, you'll need to step back to an i5-6600K to do it, and if you're shooting for a bang-for-your-buck build, the premium for an unlocked CPU and Z board is not the way to do it.
• SSD:
  • Do you hate waiting for Windows to load? So do I. That's why your higher end build has an SSD to boot from and store a few large games on, and a HDD for everything else.
• GPU:
  • The RX480 is a nice 1080p GPU for today and tomorrow. The GTX 1060 is an ok 1440p GPU for today and tomorrow, and a nice 1080p GPU for a few years afterwards. My hunch remains that the RX 480 will not age well, whereas the GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080 will be around for a while.
• Case:
  • OH SNAP! NO CASE! Actually, cases are such a subjective thing that unless someone says, "I want a mini ITX build in a Node 202", I don't even bother with them. Bear in mind that your case selection will have an impact on everything else from motherboard type to GPU size, and plan accordingly. ITX cases look beautiful, imo, but are a bitch and a half for a first-time builder.

You can squeeze in some more RAM down the line with either build. If you need new peripherals, pick and choose from the components in both builds I put up there (they're more or less interchangeable) and find your happy medium. My priority for cash allocation would be GPU > CPU > storage, in your case.

the 6700 is a must have if you stream i5 are really good but i7s destroy i5 at multitasking especially something like streaming
