gpu What GPU to use

[Hamii]

Hiya ! Soo I'm building a streaming rig, and decided to go with a Ryzen 7 1700 and Nvidia 1060 6Gb. But when I was you know, checking components for compatibility and stuff, I saw a video on youtube with the RX Vega, checked the launch date and seems like waiting might be worth the wile. I just need an extra opinion or two, if waiting is worth it or not. 

 

PS: Pls keep in mind I am on a budget and exceeding the price point of the 1060 by a lot is not an option, thank you :3

VEGA will be more expensive than a 1060, I think it will be around the price of a 1070 for the vega 56

[Princess Luna]

Then wait for vega is probably pointless to you, but knowing your country and budget could help out, depending you might look for better offers on the second hand market, such as a GTX 980 or GTX 980ti, you're getting a very capable CPU but not pairing it with an equally strong GPU, it always is nice to balance your build as much as you can.

[Colexd]

You can wait tho the vega is even more expensive than the 1070 i think. If youre comfortable woth used you can try those

[Hamii]

Ohhh, i checked the prices and the 56 is actually cheaper than the 1060 (in our country) but maybe it was like, an outdated post...

Sooo your saying, that i should buy a better gpu ? Or downgrade to a Ryzen 5 1600 ?

[Hamii]

Btw I should've mentioned this, I'm gonna stream 720p 30fps, mostly stuff like CS:GO and Overwatch BUT I was going to also stream Battlefield 1 and GTA V, is a Ryzen 5 1600 going to be enough ?

I need to know what you plan to do with the computer first so I can better advise... without knowing the user case there is no way to know if you need the CPU power or not, but if you'll just game then going R5 1600 on b350 makes better sense as you can save enough for a superior GPU which is what weights most on gaming.

 

But then again if you'll use CPU specific applications for work and such then it is a different story, it depends on your needs.

[Hamii]

its gonna be used for streaming video editing and some form of like 3d animation and stuff

I think the 1600 is enough

Do people still stream GTA V at all?

 

Frankly I'm not sure, the 1700 is every one's game streaming favourite right now but a GTX 1060 is not the most powerful card ever, you will stream lower quality image... I don't stream so I would favour my gaming experience with the r51600 + GTX 1070/1080 no doubt but then it could get a bit stressed out on BF1....

 

It's up to you what's more important I suppose, you can leave it as it is.

The thing is, that you can upgrade a gpu by just changing, in case of the cpu its a bit mor complicated, and gta v is just an example of a cpu demanding game

450 will be fine, but the point is that you dont need that expensive a psu

i checked reviews and the PCI-e wireless expansion cards are SUPER bad like motherboards are way better, plus my desk is located at the other side of the house and i have no ethernet connections there...  BUT you reminded me of a friend that has an asus one soo I might get that and buy an MSI B350 motherboard  ty

[FoxAxe]

do you relly need a fanless power supply that costs so much when you could get a cheaper power supply with 10years wrranty from thermaltake (Thermaltake though power rgb 550w)   and get more ram and faster ram becouse ryzen likes fast ram.
