Hello there,

Since my 4,5 year old pc is coming to its end and I would like to play games on max settings again, with the occasional streaming of League of Legends. I decided it was time to buy/build a new PC.

What I will do with it:
Streaming(minimum 720p) (Usually League of Legends, but might stream Elder scrolls online)
Games (Most of the games coming out including Elder scrolls online playd at 1920x1080)
I might make some videos for youtube aswell but I doubt.
I want to overclock, not heavy but some.

Budget: 800 euros

So far I and a friend build one pc on the site I want to order at (Im not german, but I do live in germany) I also made a second option since I read that AMD might be more optimised for future games (BF4 for example) and that its better for streaming.

Here are the 3 options so far:

Note that I also changed case on the second option. I want to make sure I have a good airflow in the case before wasting money, all components I took in the first link is via the help of a friend. the second link is by doing some research myself. I dont know much about computers, in fact I never built one so this will be my first time. I searched for about a week for different components etc. I even thought about using my old case/power supply to save money for a 770 gtx. But I dont want to throw it away the HDD is fucked soon. 50 euro and my girlfriend has a pc that is better than her laptop, so I rather do that at the cost of a less good GPU.

I appreciate any kind of help/suggestions/critics. But If you suggest other hardware, it has to be available at www.hardwareversand.de or perhaps www.alternate.de (unless you know a better site in germany)

If nothing really has to be changed in either examples, I do have a few questions:

Will I be able to overclock both of them, and if so by how much?

With the first question, will I have a good airflow? Should i try to mod the case a bit? ( I dont really have tools in our little flat, not sure what i can do with scissorcs and forks ! )

EDIT: I also thought about downgrading the SSD from 250 gb to 128 GB to save about 60 Euros. I believe 128 GB will be enough for me. When windows is installed I have about 80 gbs left? Unless I really love editing videos, but I doubt I will. I think 128 gb ssd will be enough , i could still use an external harddrive I have somewhere (seagate expansion) Just need to find it Included a third option to reflect this
