Help on my Streaming/gaming build

XLNC ShiFty · Dec 3, 2013

Well this is my second build and my buget is $2000. My primary use for this pc will be to stream to twtich from my xbox. I also play wow occasionally which is why i put a gpu in there and since im spending this much money i figured i might as well get a decent gpu. So this is where i am at. let me know if you would change any of the components and why or if you would add any. I am also currently using the NZXT Hue to light my current case and it works fine for me personally but i have no experience with other kinds of lighting so if you have better lighting solutions(preferably led strips) then let me know as well.

Potential Issues/Incompatibilities
Some Intel X79 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Ivy Bridge-E CPUs.
Asus Sabertooth X79 ATX LGA2011 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the NZXT LEXA S (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports.

i see the issues but the usb issues i dont care about and the chipset issue may be fixed by using this motherboard...not sure (i would have put this motherboard in the part list but it wasnt listed on the site http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131798R

You should use extra $100/200 and get a better GPU. Your build will be OP after that.

honestly i do no gaming besides world of warcraft and i think the 760 should be able to handle any game i feel like playing on at the minimum of medium which is fine with me because i dont see myself playing any other games on pc than wow. I play console games. Thanks for the advice though.

If it's seriously just streaming XBox games, why not just a little stand alone streaming encoder like the Hauppauge or Avermedia ones and save a pile of money on the PC?

those are capture cards...you still need a streaming pc to get it onto the internet

XLNC ShiFty :

Those are USB capture devices that do all the video compression. A Pentium4 with 256MB of RAM and XP could get it on the internet. You don't need to spend 2 grand on a PC just to upload a file.
