Hey guys,

Over the next week I'm looking to start building a dedicated streaming PC. I've already started acquiring some parts, but would like some advice on others.

My main build is an Intel rig with a GTX 1080TI, for diversity (and because the new MoBo I purchased has an AM4 socket) I'm looking to venture into the Ryzen processors - would a Ryzen 7 1800x be overkill for a streaming PC?

 

The part's I've acquired so far are:

  • ASUS B350F ATX Motherboard;
  • MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4G GPU;
  • CoolerMaster Masterbox 5;
  • 250GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD;
  • 3TB HDD.

To buy over the next week:

  • Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB/16GB;
  • NZXT Kraken X62 or x52;
  • EVGA Supernova 550W;
  • Ryzen 7 (or similar) CPU

Are there any changes that you would make to this build? Is the CPU overkill and would I be better suited to buying a Ryzen 5 instead?

 

Thanks in advance!
