Opinions on gaming PC build

[Beth18]

Hi, I want to start streaming/recording Fortnite and Rocket League. Here's the build I've put together, do you think it'll be able to handle it? Is there anything you would change?

The build is very well balanced and it looks like you know what you are doing , but why would you get a 1366x768 monitor aside form your 1080p one? Isn't it more sensible to get one better monitor?

This is my first build and I honestly knew nothing about PCs when I started looking for parts! I needed a cheap secondary monitor to control my stream, is there anything you would recommend instead? The problem is that I don't have much space left in my budget!

It's fine I did not know you were going to stream. II justifies the additional monitor. Generally the build looks fine and you should not have any compatibility issues.

That Dell 19" monitor only has VGA, which you can't use on modern graphics cards (and you don't have onboard video) so you'll need a dongle for that (not just a DVI>VGA, won't work on a DVI-D port). I'd look for a cheap monitor that has at least HDMI, DVI or DisplayPort.

Rig looks fine. Get a different monitor to monitor the stream

 

Here is a cheap IPS one: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/zQqbt6/dell-monitor-se2216h

[GoldenLag]

Swap out the PSU with a fully modular Seasonic Focus Gold

 

This 650watt: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/WrNypg/seasonic-focus-plus-gold-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-650fx

 

Or this 550 watt: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/bkp323/seasonic-focus-plus-gold-550w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-550fx

 

550 watt will be plenty for pretty much any modern builds

Ok, thanks I'll have a look. I was thinking of getting the MSI motherboard that you have as I would save a bit of money. Would you recommend it over the one I've picked? Also, what 1070ti do you have?

I can only really afford either upgrading to the monitor you've selected or the PSU, unless I get Windows for cheap off eBay. Which one would you pick?

Get windows from reddit and get a better monitor. The PSU is whats gonna change your experience the least (though beter cable management)

 

Upgrade the monitor. The IPS panel is going make it easy to see if the colours are off in your stream and so fourth
