I currently have a $3000 Build Budget. I'd like to challenge some of the performance/per dollar / PC Elitist minds here on LTT to put together the best $2000 - $3000 Streaming PC Build you can put together currently with the Monitor included 1080p or better focusing competitive edge over looks attempting to get good performance per/dollar value while still a little on the elitist side of things. Lower the price the better but still high-end. This rig will be for gaming, streaming, and a little content creation.

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Spoiler

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

I would say mild. Would mostly be video game play, mild editing, and voice over work.

A better value PC with the 8700k for the best possibe gaming and streaming experience other than getting an x299 CPU. Zotac GTX1080Ti for gaming on the 1440p monitor (very high presets) at over 80FPS and 4k gaming if you upgrade monitor at 50FPS+

Also it is only $38 more than other Ryzen build (this one is better)

 

Hope this helps!
