Get a 7700k and z270 mobo

Get a 1080

Only need 16gb ram

Not that psu pleaee

Not that cooler too

 

[Wulfy]

Hey dude, thanks for the reply! I dont want to change the CPU or the Graphics card because i want to keep it in that price area. I forgot to type in the main description but i am wanting to game, stream and record and i think these were the best for me. I changed the ram to 16gb but im unsure on a PSU to replace the current on (thats 500 watts). I would also like to ask what cooler would you recommend?

 

Thanks!

A few things I would change.

 

Like another user said, you might aswell buy into the newest. So I found a 7700K, and a RGB (Red is something you seem to want from the build) Z270 motherboard for around the same price and the 7600k combo, went for the Intel 600p M.2 SSD over the 2.5' Samsung because its $1 more and a hell of a lot faster.

CPU cooler, this was basically the cheapest cooler I would trust with such a beefy chip. (I would also suggest you look at local prices for a Hyper 212 evo).

I found a pretty decent deal on 144hz AOC gaming G-Sync monitors for $25ish less then the ones you have selected reviews are really good on them too.

Ram, found a 3200mhz kit for a cheaper price also matching the red theme.

 

Hope that helps.

Wow, that was extensive. Thanks! I have updated the build to have a better CPU cooler and a better Power Supply. I am looking to become a content creator (gaming of course) and a streamer. The reason i didnt go so new is because i would be streaming CSGO and recording other gameplay. Would the 7700k offer an amazing experience that i have heard the 6700k does? for a similar price point? Does the Z270 motherboard have good sound technology because chances are I'm probably not going to buy a seperate sound card or anything like that. Me personally i dont like the G-Sync technology too much. By the way, yes my theme is based off red and black. Would you recommend this as a streaming, gaming and recording PC? https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/BennySmain1011/saved/VxM4D3

Look when it comes to a content creation perspective having good color reproduction and fast SSD storage so you can scrub through 4k footage at a decent pace is important.

For gaming you want a good CPU  (something with strong single core performance) and GPU.

 

Look I personally would get a IPS (for the color reproduction 4k monitor for editing) and the G-Sync 144hz for gaming, and use both. You don't have to have the g-sync on when playing if you are not a fan of it in games like CS:GO. but trust me you will want it for other games.

 

The I7 7700K is anywhere from 5-15% faster then the I7 6700K and its basically the same price. You also get the benefits Kaby Lake architecture brings

All mid-high range motherboards have fantastic audio solutions, there is basically no need to buy a sound card anymore for a PC.

 

The things you would want are as follows:

 

-M.2 SSD with NVME support for crazy good transfer and read speeds to use as a scratch disk and OS drive.

-144hz capable monitor (I would suggest getting the one that supports G-Sync because it costs alittle less and G-sync is a fantastic feature that you will want on other games.)

-A IPS 4k monitor for editing and color reproduction (I would suggest this to be larger then 24 Inch (having more space to work in when editing is important)

 

If you can use any spare money you saved from the monitor swap put towards either your CPU cooler or GPU (try and fit in a 1080) or a decent cooler to overclock that CPU to over 5.0Ghz.

 

Take the list I gave you and work from that.

 

What was your overall budget again. Ill try and build something that will suit your needs at a price that doesn't break the bank.

So i took a rough guess at your price point was somewhere around $3200ish judging on the parts you picked on your first link.

 

So I built a PC based on that price point that would match what I said above.

Left alittle room for a second monitor.

And I got a really decent air cooler in there so you can easily hit that 5.0 Ghz mark

Also managed to fir in a 1080 in the budget instead of a 1070.

And  keeped the red theme. Even getting a really good price for RED LED ram cheaper then even stock DDR4.

Hey, thankyou for that! The only problems with the build is the case, the video card and the monitor. The case that i originally chose i love. I dont really see much of a point in changing it. Personally i only really want to go for a Nvidia graphics card as i feel it outplays other competition and its a personal favourite for GPU providers. Quick question. If i were to get the Gigabyte computer would it still have Shadow play and other things that nvidia offer?  The next problem is the monitor. i want to go for a duo moniter setup to make streaming a much better experience. I have a bit of OCD so two of the same moniters would be better. The content that i would be creating would only be in 1080p as i have only recently started content creation. I dont really have a price point but the cheaper the better. The reason i dont have a price point is because i am going to save up for this computer over time. Therefore the prices would change and there might be better stuff on the market then but i want to have a basis on what i want to build first. Thank you!

honestly if that's the case i would wait for ryzen to come out then plan on what you want to build
