Need Help building my first Gaming/Workstation PC for Twitch/Youtube Streaming.

[Charron]

Hello to everyone here reading this topic. I greatly appreciate for you guys coming here, even tho I am new and dont know much at all of high end PC builds but I am needing some serious help and suggestions as I could not think of anyone else but linustechtips to help me on this.

"before I get into the point of this topic I want to say FIRST that I have been a subscriber since 2010 and even though I had lost multiple youtube (user accounts). Linustechtips was the first to mind to re-subscribe to. I absolutely love all the video contents on this channel as well Techquickie Big fan of linus. "

 

Im am on a very tight budget because I have a daughter and and use to work in construction doing framing and roofing but I was recently victim in a vehicle accident as I was bussing to a job on a OC Transpo here in Ottawa, Ontario. from the accident I experienced a right dislocated shoulder because of this Im on a disability long term at age 24...  Moving on from that I am wanting to give youtubing and twitch a shot as a career in video gaming & entertainment content. I need a $2000 - $2500 pc build that  can do Gaming/workstation for runing HIGH END games and screen capturing/recording also some video editing as well as gameplay LIVE streaming.

 

also to show you guys how bad I am atempting my first PC build I found a website called pcpartpicker.com and well it says that in my list that everything is compatible... I have a insane PTSD trusting web sites like this.

 

Here is my PC build list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wyc8WX Please Help me Linus! I have to lose anymore money than I have already!

it'll work, but don't bother with a 7800x, the 8700k is better unless you need the pcie lanes. don't spend so much on a blower-style gtx 1080(or any gtx 1080). do you really need 32gb of ram? are you in the US or Canada?

That is the max I can afford and i7 7700K is what I thought It would be best for needing to do streaming. Also Idk in the list it shows that GPU. but the GPU I think i want is EVGA GTX 1080 FTW2 ICX cause it has better cooling? Tho prices raise and drop alot now it up so idk if I can afford it now.... also forgot to mention that I want a good motherboard that I can swap in a newer or upgrade parts
