1. Budget & Location

I am Located in the United States. I am wanting a PC for at least 400$ and at most 500$.

 

2. Aim

I aim to have it play at 60+fps on high settings for games like CSGO, Dota 2, Rust, etc. My current laptop can run CSGO at 70fps so I have no doubt my current planned build will exceed that.

 

3. Monitors

1 monitor for now.

 

4. Peripherals

Covered

 

Current Build:

you're overspending on the mobo, ram and the 1050ti, and the psu isn't very good. get a cheap b250 or h110 mobo, team elite plus ram and an s12ii instead.

Also, do you think I could push the limit a little bit and be able to record my gameplay. or is it pusing it?

First find out what program you'll be using, and make sure it is stable. (Not a 20 day trial type of stuff) Cause if you want to do youtube, then most stable recorders are going to make your recording shit. And most good ones you're probably going to buy them.

CPU - i7-4790k

GPU - MSI 980 Ti 

Mobo - MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Memory - 32 GB DDR3

Storage - 3.4 TB

use amd relive to record, doesn't have much of an impact on performance.

S12II 620W is pretty good, and it's $50 atm, pick that instead of the 450W S12II

used the 430w s12ii to keep the build in budget, and it's fine with up to a gtx 1070. but if he can spend a few bucks extra than go for it.

Which one do i pick now. lol. I get so confused, whoes build is better, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

the other build compromises on performance quite alot and had a pretty mediocre psu. i'd recommend my build, make a 100-200gb boot partition and clone that to the ssd when you get it.

$20 over budget, but you get a better PSU (higher wattage, same quality) and a motherboard that is updated to work with the new pentium whereas Hermann's was a maybe
