Is this a good config?

[MittensK]

Hi,

 

Title says it all. Is this good for gaming and light video editing/streaming?

Thanks in advance.

C'mon you don't need 32GB of RAM, but you do need an SSD.

 

This seems really good for your budget: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Kr2NwV

 

Good luck with the build!

 

P.S: It will do fine for video editing/streaming will be fine and 1440p gaming is the ideal for the GPU.

I didn't even notice the 32 gb of ram because they were separate '-'

I changed a few things-

- Removed extra RAM, 16GB is more than enough.

- Changed to a better graphics card

- Changed power supply to a better one

- Added an SSD, plus I changed the hard drive to 2TB rather than 1TB

 

All while also saving you some money. You could add a Cryorig H7 to cool your CPU better so you could overclock, but that would raise the price to £996, ten pounds more than when I started. So, I didn't add it. You'll be able to game and stream well.

Forgot that was still there.

 

What SSD would you recommend and in what capacity?

Anything above 120GB is fine. Enough for the OS, some games and programs, and files.

 

The build I sent you includes an SSD, so no worries.

You have the GTX 1070 on there, I'm assuming for 1440p gaming, but, I am kind of fine with 1080p and I have a 144Hz 1080p monitor right now, so would you recommend anything different in that regard.

GTX 1070 is meant for 144Hz 1080p and 60Hz 1440p gaming. I'm not sure the GTX 1060 will use 144Hz to its true potential.

Okay, after this happened yesterday, I think I have found a good system to build that's within my price range, would you agree?

Looks good, I would probably go the extra 15$ for a MasterBox 5 case, will make everything much easier.
