Basically I am in uni and need of a new pc.
I currently looked up the following components:
AMD FX 8350
AsRock 990FX Etreme 3
8Gb Ram @ 1600MHz
120Gb Samsung 840 series SSD
2TB 64MB/s Cache 6GB/s HDD
750 modular psu
7950 GPU (No point in getting 7970 as its £100 more than 7950)
Case (not sure yet)
My question is this going to handle the tasks such as live streaming to twitch from either a HD Pvr or the pc itself. Also handle CAD design programs. Rendering videos and general gaming at 60+ fps.
 


This should do. The FX8350 setup is more than suited for the task at hand.

I don't need windows as I got it and I don't like 8 so will be using 7 ultimate 64 bit. Also is the wireless adapter necessary as my modem will be literally 10cm from my pc.
