Any pc builds that you can recommend for around $400? The max budget would be $700. It has to run games at 1080p60. SOme basic recording also at 1080p60. Actually 1080p30 is okay for recording. That's all.

 

 

edit: This is not going to be for me.

 Pc partpicker links are appreciated

CPU - i7-4790k

GPU - MSI 980 Ti

Wouldn't it be safer to go for B250 anyhow?

Those are really good options, obviously I like the $700 one more. But while checking it out I saw this incompatability? 

"Some Intel H110 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revision"

What's this about?

GPU - MSI 980 Ti 

Mobo - MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Memory - 32 GB DDR3

You could have just put a i5 6500 in place of 7500 and if you get it at microcenter saving 10-15 dollars

or a better board to push the 1600 to 4Ghz

oh, older h110 boards may not come with the bios needed to support kabylake out of the box. ask the seller if the mobo has the bios that supports kabylake out of the box.

Sorry forgot to meantion. It wont be used for streaming. it just has to be able to record 1080p30. No this wont be used for profesional youtube or anything. My own rig would be better at it. This is just something my sister can own so she can just record a few videos every few months or so. So any replacements for the cpu? Or should I stay with the same you guys said?

Well in that case the i5s perform a bit beter today (you won't notice with a 580), and Ryzen 5 is a better prospect for the future with its multithreading enabled and more cache. I think both are strong choices.

an i5 7500 and h110 board will be cheaper than a ryzen 5 yet on par in gaming, I'd get that and use the money on more ram or ssd space.
