1080p performance PC help

[SammoFS]

Hey all. I've asked this many times but you know. Prices change a lot. Also I have another use for a computer now. My original Reason is Gaming which is still one reason, But Another is For Rendering videos and recording/streaming.

I already have a 1440 x 900 monitor (I would like a 1920 x 1080 but I'll get that in the future.)

I have a mouse and a keyboard. All I need is a good gaming rig. My budget/goal is to keep it under $850/$840. Thanks in advance for any help

But TBH, I dont recommend doing this now. The i5 7400 is not a bad chip, but it's still a locked 4 core i5, and from the look of it so far Ryzen seem to have some pretty decent unlock chip with more core/thread coming out very soon, which will be good for your streaming/rendering task. So... wait for a bit longer?

If you can spend abit more(wait for ryzen if you can).

Thanks everyone, Yeah I will try to wait for Ryzen @herman mcpootis I just need someone better than my current PC. (check my signature)

just so you know, the ryzen launch will only include the high end processors (competing with the 6900K and 6800K) at launch date, and it will take a while after the paper launch for the lower end to trickle down the supply chain.
