If possible a quad-core processor of at least 3.6 ghz or greater with this price range and a good cooling system.

Eduello · Jul 3, 2014

Do you need the operating system?

OnePerson · Jul 3, 2014

Yes Windows 7 Home Premium

I don't know if you need the OS as you worded it ''yes Windows 7 Home premium" Does that mean yes you have windows 7 home premium ..or that you want that version?

I'm over your 900 budget simply due to the OS, ill change the options when you clarify.

OnePerson · Jul 3, 2014

I would like that version.

OnePerson · Jul 3, 2014

Depending on how much it is in the 1000$ range I could do that possibly.

if you're willing to go higher you can bump up the graphics card then. Although you might have to bump the psu to 650Watts at that point as well.

Thank you both also will the i5 intel core processor handle streaming(will be using XSplit) and recording?(Dxtory) Also video editing(Sony Vegas Pro 12)

Eduello · Jul 3, 2014

Yeah, the i5 should do fairly well in those tasks. It's also a Haswell Refresh CPU, so it's going to overclock fairly well.

vagrancyx · Jul 3, 2014

Yes i5 is totally fine for gaming and streaming. The i7 comes into play for video editing/ photoshop and other applications that would make sure of the hyperthreading

OnePerson · Jul 3, 2014

Alright thank you both c:

Eduello · Jul 3, 2014

Thank you and in terms of an ESD wrist strap what would you recommend?

kunthakenthe · Jul 4, 2014

ah sorry for not answering if your floor is carpet a anti static mat is good(any brand dosent matter), a wristband on a carpet or hard floor(wood,tile,etc). or you can frequently touch a case with a psu plugged in it also works just as good. But getting the wristband or mat is handy if your really foucsed and forget to touch the case
