Streaming and VR PC

[MrTzXk]

Hello fellow PC enthusiasts! 

I have a predicament. I am looking for help with building a new PC specifically for streaming and for VR. Live streaming is the priority here so if someone could help me out by creating me a build list, one for just streaming and one for both? My budget is 800 pounds but less would be better! 

 

Thanks for any help or advice!

You could probably get a r5 1600 as a combo deal, look if you have them in your area. I know that with msi battlebox you get a rx 480, r5 1600 and a b350 mobo for amazing price, and all these parts are great for a vr and streaming pc.

Live streaming is streaming so where does vr come in here?

So this build is got kids who play VR on the pc for a few hours a day and then they also stream various gameplay videos on it too. The streaming is more important but its also good to be able to let the kids play VR on it too

im putting together a pc right now, you are from UK correct? But i dont know the local deals, so there might be something big out of my sights.

Ok, a bit over budget, but here it is:

You could make it cheaper by getting slower ram, less ssd and hdd storage, maybe a different psu etc

That's great man! Do you think it's worth upgrading to 1080 for the extra cost or do you think its overkill for what I need it for?

Well you said that 800 or less, that is why i didnt put the 1080 in it. But it would be a nice suprise, especially as the vr titles get more and more graphically intesive. So it is not overkill at all, if you can afford it, it would be a very nice surprise to the one you are making the pc for.

Yeah looks good, but 2 things.. First the cpu comes with its own cooler, and unlike Intel, Amd actually gives you a really nice one. So the extra cpu cooler is unneccesary. 

Second i would get atleast a 128gb ssd for windows, it makes it so much faster than on hdd.

Okay great, one last thing. I know of a local guy who says he can compete on prices, this is a quote he sent me. Any thoughts? 

 

It's a 1060 with a ryzen 1600

First off, a 500gb hdd in this day and age? Wtf. A 2tb hdd costs 35 quid, and he is trying to pass you a 500gb one. 

An optical drive? 

That psu looks sketchy, i wouldnt buy that psu 

a much worse mobo,

Also that ram looks like a 2133, while i recommended a 3200, so a massive performance difference here

But really a 500 gb hdd?

So the build on PC Partpicker is far superior and cheaper?

Yes, but i would still drop that cpu cooler, as you get a free one with the cpu anyways,

and get a 128 gb ssd instead, like this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-PLUS-Sata-2-5-inch-Internal/dp/B07621PNWC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1527274003&sr=8-3&keywords=128gb+ssd

Glad i could help!

 

Just be careful when building it, and everything should go great!

Maybe even let the kids build it, if they are old enough and are interested in it!

Just make sure to supervise them then.

 

Anyways have a great evening!
