I game and stream. That is the basis for this build. I already have monitors, peripherals, and storage. I just want advice for the parts to get the best possible performance.

Literally just go all out because with a budget like that you can, so maybe like 1080ti (or 2), Ryzen 1800, 32GB RAM and then RGB everything. Like you can just go into online tech retailers stores and sort by price highest to lowest.

nah, I would suggest waiting for TR, it comes out in 2 weeks, and you can get a 16 core for that price, which is clocked higher.

10 cores is already overkill let alone 16 cores for gaming/streaming.

that it true, but 16 is extremely overkill, and TR due to being soldered, and it's lower TDP looks like it will be much easier to cool.  Also the 16 cores I will imagine will set you up for quite a few years, either that or get AMDs new 12 core which is also cheaper and clocked higher. Means you can get a bigger SSD or better monitor or something like that. Also means that if the OP is rendering a video because they upload it to YT as well, then (depending on what program is used) the 12 core or the 16 core should be faster than intels 10

why spend  more money for less when you can spend less money for more and just being able to says you have 16 cores would kinda be great

NZXT X62 is an excellent cooler for any high TDP processor.

If he has $4000 to blow on a PC alone I can assume he already has a good monitor and storage already.

that is ture, the point of the 12 core TR possibly being a better CPU still stands though, the single core performance of the TR, due to the TR slightly higher clockspeed of 0.2 for 12 core and 0.1 for 16 core might be better, and if you put a decent overclock, lets say you get it to 3.8GHz which I think is probably do able, hell 4GHz might be doable, considering a R7 1700 can do that, which has a lower base clock and lower boost, as well as a R7 1700X which has the same base, but a lower boost. That and the boost is 4Ghz I feel that 3.8-4GHz is reasonable for TR, so if it can do that it will be a much better CPU. 

 

I suggest waiting for TR and seeing independent reviews, especially as they will be coming in the 2-3 weeks, these will show how good these CPUs are compared to the 10 core, and also see how well it overclocks.

You think that'll tame an i9?..

[seon123]

Since you're already paying over $1000 for the CPU in these lists, why not get a delidded one, like this? Much better thermals
