Ryzen 7 Gaming/Streaming/Editing Build

[xwboy]

Hi!

 

I've just moved into a new apartment and I want to build a new computer to use as a gaming (in 21:9 1440p), streaming, and editing rig. I did some research and it seems that Ryzen is significantly better than Intel's lineup for editing and streaming while not falling too far behind in terms of gaming performance. As I'll be streaming most of my gameplay and editing several videos per week, I figured that the better performance in these areas would be worth a slight decrease in FPS. Before I buy the parts, I'd like some feedback on the build I've put together.

 

EDIT: I'll wait for Vega before buying a GPU.

I can't wait more than a month to buy the parts, which means I might have to spend a bit more on the GPU.

I'll wait to buy a GPU, but what about the rest of the build?

Yeah it's ridiculous. I got one last November for $370. I'll wait for Vega.

Looks good. Change the hard drive to a Toshiba P300 if you want to save money (shorter warranty) and there probably is cheaper and equal RAM on the market.

HDD is a spare one from an old build. I'll look into RAM but they all seem very similarly priced.

If I save a bit on the memory and storage would you recommend the H100i over a good air cooling solution?

Ok, I'll consider it.
