Doing light steaming and heavy gaming

[theminnesotanman]

Want to stream as well as play pretty much every game at 144 fps on max or near max for the next few years. Would like to stay around the 2100-2200 usd range if parts need to be switched around. I am aware of the sk hynix and i would prefer the 850 evo over that ssd. Also the cpu cooler i am flexible on switching to the NH-D15 as well. If an AIO is leaps and bounds better i have done research on the h115i and thats what i would go for iin the air coolers place. remember the tempered glass side panel so any parts that are suggested please try to stick to a black and white color pallet. Thanks for any help that you can offer! <3

get better ram and Asus prime MOBO

[reniat]

That 1080ti is overkill for 1080p. Id pay extra for a 1440p monitor.

I agree with ram but Taichi is a great board.

[Stevoisboss]

Please don't use a 1080ti for 1080p. Anything above a 1070 is super overkill for that res.

CAn't say anything on the Taichi, but had the Pro4 one from asrock, hated it and had so many issues with the bios and Ram (and yes Was updated) Went to the B350 Prime in Workshop PC and new rig has X370 Prime and loving them.

1440p 144Hz or 4K monitor please

Taichi is good, get faster RAM

Get a Phanteks P400S TG, there's a sexy white/black version. Includes an RGB strip, front RGB led, and top fan covers & filters. Plus you get the sweet Phanteks screw box IIRC.

If the AM4 bracket is out get a Dark Rock Pro 3 instead of a Noctua - similar performance, thermals, and volume but not ugly AF.

what ram would you recommend? also would i be able to max at that res (1440p)  with the 1080ti at 144 fps?

But it's $200. Could put another ~$50 towards a better monitor with a mid-range board unless they are looking for a specific board feature.

Find some way to shave off some $$$. 

 

You're gonna be running Ryzen with a good B-Die kit as fast as the chipset allows. Any higher and it flips the fuck out iirc.

Hynix kits (like the Corsair LPX) cap out at 3200Mhz, no matter how much mV you throw into it.

depends on the game. I currently get about 150-200 fps in Doom with settings cranked at 1440p (200fps is the games fps cap), but games like pubg (which is horribly optimized) dips in the 100-120 range because it bottlenecks on the cpu pretty hard. so for games with decent engines, it will be more than enough.

 

the 1080ti is very much overkill for 1080p gaming, and I'd either step down to a 1080 to save some money or go up to a high refresh 1440p monitor (ideally with gsync).

I haven't really been looking at monitors recently, since I don't plan on getting one until high refresh 4k screens hit the market (once you go 144fps you never go back). For a 1440p 144hz monitor with gsync you're looking at the $600 ballpark right now I believe, so don't think you need to go for those crazy $800+ screens to get those features unless you NEED an ips panel or something.

would the ram fit if i went with a cryorig r1? also thats not too far over my budget. Are AOC monitors good screens? i have never used them before

not too sure, it'd be worth to check the spreader height 

 

and the AOC monitor isn't bad quality, but if you want a higher end monitor you could drop an extra $79 on the Acer Predator XB1 - 1440p 165hz G-Sync 

and there's a 24" dell with Gsync for $399 as well

No that's wrong. It's actually the Asrock Professional Gaming (unless you hate the fact that it has red stuff).  

 

The Pro Gaming is actually just a Taichi with different colors and some extra features like 5 gig LAN and power and reset buttons on the board. That's about it.

 

So naturally it's "technically" better, though really the differences are pretty small and you get stuck with red.

 

I'M SORRY I HAD TO MAKE THE TECHNICAL CORRECTION
