Gaming + Streaming Setup for 1700$

[MizuhashiKaito]

Hey guys, as the title says I'm going to build a PC in Malaysia .My budget is around 6500 MYR = 1600ish USD, you can refer to Malaysia Price list, Malaysia price list no.2 or Malaysia price list no.3 for the price of pc components (1 USD = 4,1 MYR). I'm willing to increase the budget if it's necessary.

 

The PC will be used mainly for eSports titles + streaming (I play Rainbow six siege most of the time and occasionally play other games). So I need to achieve a stable 144 FPS while streaming 1080p60. The reason why I need a stable 144 fps is because I'm planning to play proffesionally.

 

I'm only planning to run a 1080p 144hz monitor for now, but might add more in the future.

I also need a good microphone for around 50$+, I'll just use windows 10 trial until I buy a key at Key shop.

 

The reason why I'm building this PC because I am currently using a Sager NP8156 which was also recommended from this forum. Pairing i7 7700hq + gtx 1060 is okay for just playing casually, but I need more FPS + Streaming capabilites. 

 

My current build idea,

Processor : Ryzen 2700X (This or 8700K ?)

Motherboard : Asrock B450M Pro4 (Best Matx Mobo available)

Graphics Card : Galax GTX 1080 EXOC SNPR (Cheapest available 1080 I can find, I can get a 1070ti for 30$ less but should I ?)

RAM : Klevv 8GB DDR4 3000Mhz x 2

SSD : Moment MS13 240GB SSD

HDD : WD Blue 1 TB

PSU : Super Flower Silver Eco 600W Full Modular PSU

Case : Fractal Design Meshify C Mini - Dark TG

Monitor : Acer XF240H 144Hz

 

All this for around 6300 MYR = 1530 USD.

 

Should I wait for RTX? should I wait for 9th Gen intel? ._.

Any advice or recommendation is welcomed, any help is much appreciated.

The build you have come up with is about as good as it'll get in your price range. The only thing I would add is a nice CPU cooler because you're going to be stressing it hard running games and streaming, you should be able to sell the stock cooler for a decent price to.

Good build from Nvidia battlebox, but locked processor + without monitor does not sound like a good deal for me. All those RGB capabilites is great but I personally don't mind making a non rgb PC.

A way worse build for what he wants for the same money, lol

You would be better with a Vega 56 for that monitor as it is a FreeSync one. Also at 1080p gaming then the i7 8700K will probably be a bit faster.

 

Also not 100% sure how good/bad the SuperFlower Silver ECO is as I can't find any reviews on it. Maybe @jonnyGURU @Stefan Payne can shed some light on it.

For the price of vega 56 i could get a GTX 1080ti here haha, I’m a bit worried since buying a 8700K would probably cost around 120$ more. 

They say that it’s a good tier 2 psu, but I think I can swap it with evga supernova 650W.

This is the build that I planned to do for gaming + streaming  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WDrNYT. Feel free to change anything, the monitor doesn't support both freesync and gsync, the storage is just 1tb and the SSD is just 240gb. The 2700x will do well with streaming and gaming but if you really want more gaming performance go for the 8700k. Feel free to change anything guys 

Edit: Compatibility issues with the eps connector

I'd go with the 2700X in your shoes, it's cheaper to boot and requires less robust cooling because of the soldered IHS. If you can swap the PSU with a SuperNova, it might be better but the Silver Super Flower looks decent from the outer casing as well... IDK. If it's in fact a watered down Gold Super Flower design, like the designs used in SuperNova units, it should be solid. Ditch the no-name SSD also.

Its somewhere in the range of the EVGA B3 series and very similar, though a bit higher efficiency I'd guess.

 

It could absolutely be worse, though I don't particularly like Super Flower because they tend to be on the loud side, like Seasonic.
