Streaming pc

[lglase15]

I am looking for a good well balanced streaming pc and a monitor for around 900-1000 usd I’ll be playing games such as csgo fortnite and cod does this list make sense or are there changes I should make to it?https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yh7b29

.

or should i save up an extra 300 or so and get this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3RYZcY

or a third choice for around the same price point As abovehttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/j9Rt3b

Which one is the best for the value of these  3 different price points?

[I-r0k]

I would do the first one and get a 1070/1070ti instead of the 1060

Definetely the 3rd choice. I would personally try to get a ssd if possible. At first i thought ssd's were overrated but damn was i wrong. Also would try to get 3200 mhz ram. The price gaps between 3000 and 3200mhz arent always that big, maybe like 5€/$ in some cases (in my case it did)

So something more along the lines of this?

Do you need a hybrid drive when you already have an SSD? Buy a normal 2TB HDD or 3TB if it is around the same price.

Do I really need 2-3 terabytes of storage though? I’ve been under the impression that 1 will be plenty, so that’s why I only went with the one

Best value is probably the cheap R7 1700, but I'd probably say just go for the 2700X if you have the money

 

and get a case with real airflow, or just one that isn't horribly overpriced.

 

and an RX 580 since you have a free-sync display, the sale on that one ends in 2 days.

and get an IPS free-sync display, better for daily use and not much more expensive

And grab an M.2 because why not?

Okay the price makes it look like a good deal but 4gb is right on the border. And he wants to stream so 4gb isnt gonna be enough

How is 4GBs of VRAM not enough to stream? The VRAM has no effect on that.

Install the stock cooler first, then game with the PC. If it's too loud for you, then you can simply grab an aftermarket CPU cooler afterwards.
