If you're streaming why not a 1700?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

Quote

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

An r7 1700 would be a lot better for streaming and video editing. 

Unsure what power supply to pick?

Check out my HTPC build.

Quote me/others so we can help you

Comic sans is the best font

Not photo, photoshop is more single threaded :)

If you think you need it and you have the money why not? But if you are stretching your budget definitely no.

i am assuming most people just don't have photoshop open without having a massive amount of stuff open in the background. 

That really doesn't matter unless all that background stuff is actually executing code. Most background stuff just sits idle, waiting for user input.

 

I agree Ryzen R7 would likely be better for video editing.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Get a FE 1080 Ti, and get a 1070/1080 water block and use it on that.  Watch this video series and it'll explain how you can do that.

And buy a $200 or whatever AIO or custom water cooling?

Don't get the 1700x. If you overclock with the stock cooler, you can get the same speeds as the 1800x.
