I'm attempting to help my brother build his first computer, but his intended use isn't entirely within the realm of my know how. Specifically, he's an avid LoL player, and he wants to be able to play it at 1080p with max settings and not dip below 60 FPS in full on particle flying team fights, while simultaneously using a streaming service to stream at a solid and smooth framerate not below 30 FPS and 720P. I realize he'll need to upgrade his internet, but no point in that until he's got the hardware. He also wants to be able to play on one monitor, and use a second monitor for movies, browsing, music, etc. Finally, he wants to be able to play any and all new or soon to be released games at high or above settings. My questions pretty much center around CPU, GPU, Motherboard, and RAM. Does he need hyperthreading? How much VRAM is enough? He's not on a strict budget, but bloat elimination is nice. Maximum price/performance without shying away too hard on the price. The new ludicrous AMD GPU prices are steering me towards nVidia, and as he's not on a strict budget, I see no point going AMD for the processor. My thoughts were towards either a 4670K or 4770K depending on if the hyperthreading would be needed for the multitasking of gaming and streaming. GPU I have no clue, GTX 770 4GB, 760 2GB, I'm lost at the multi monitor streaming again. Motherboard, pretty much anything with a solid Intel NIC and solid onboard audio. RAM, just a 2x8 kit of DDR3 1600 with low latency for the best price/sale/brand reputabililty to be had at the time. As I stated, he's got the case and the PSU already, he's getting an SSD for a boot drive, and he has a copy of Windows 7 Pro ready and waiting, so everything else with a budget between $1500 and $2000. Needs monitors (he'll probably buy one at a time to start to spread out the spendage.), mouse and keyboard, but I'm not really looking for advice on those. Thanks for all of your help, I love coming to Tom's for advice, never been steered wrong before.
