Hey and thanks in advanced for any assistance you can give on the build. I am looking to put together a PC for Gaming, Live Streaming and Editing as this is a huge part of my life it will be doing these things daily and will need to be able to handle all I throw at it!

These is what iv been looking towards so far -

Case - COOLERMASTER CM690 MKII ADVANCED CASE
Processor (CPU) - Intel i7-4770k
CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D14
Motherboard - ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO
Memory - 16GB KINGSTON HYPERX BEAST DUAL-DDR3 2400MHz (2 x 8GB KIT)
Graphics Card - 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 770 EVGA
HDD - 1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK (Have another 1TB in my current PC that I will be using in the new one as well)
PSU - CORSAIR 750W RM SERIES GOLD

Total cost is looking aroun £1000-£1100

The I7 is more for the rendering/streaming side, I know it does little for the gaming compared to the I5. I do a lot of multitasking so thats why I went more towards the 16GB of ram.

Once again thanks for any advice on what iv currently got together!

Looks solid, I would personally spend less on the motherboard, this UD4H is very well reviewed and Gigabyte really has done a great job with their 1150 boards. I also upgraded you to faster RAM which will make a difference with your multitasking and editing.

Hey thanks for the reply. On that list I notice the Ram doesn't seem to have a price or be added into the overall price. Also is it worth downgrading the HDD to the one you use on that list for what I plan on using the PC for?

Ok changed the build a little, was looking at the 780 TI but it seems its a waste of time if you don't plan on using a resolution over 1080p (Which I don't) or if you are planning on using 3 monitors (again I don't)

How is that list looking right now? Also missing a PSU and CPU cooler, will plan on doing some light overclocking and in terms of the PSU I wouldn't mind having the option to SLI later down the line so having a little more juice wouldn't be a bad thing.

Slightly over my budget but that was because I threw in a SSD which I originally didn't plan on getting. So how does that look over? Any recommendations on changes would be appreciated, if its all good then I will start ordering!

Perfect! Thanks for the confirmation on my choices and the change in mobo/ram. Will begin shopping around to get each part!
