Good for what I need?

Jonathan Tyer · Jul 20, 2014

Is this PC enough for recording and streaming (at the same time) Minecraft. That means some video editing, enough for YouTube.

So this is great for it?

DroneDroneDrone · Jul 20, 2014

Yes. I recommend keeping the mobo I picked it unless you're not upgrading/OCing. The mobo you currently choose doesn't have good OCing capability. Also would look to go for 2x4 ram instead of 1x8. G skill ripjaws x will be good

This is as much that I am willing to spend.

DroneDroneDrone · Jul 20, 2014

If you can get the i5 then go for it. But reall the 6300 will do fine.

Jonathan Tyer · Jul 21, 2014

Ok, start over. What is a good build for whatever budget for recording and streaming Minecraft at 1080p @ 60fps?

This is more than enough for your purposes, so tell me if it's too expensive. This will have no tryouble maxing out most games. You could even record/stream at the same time.

tiny voices · Jul 21, 2014

Just so you know, OP, none of the builds you posted will even boot up as for all those CPUs you need an H97 or Z97 motherboards.

DroneDroneDrone · Jul 21, 2014

tiny voices :

Are you talking about his build? My mobos are good? first one is a 970a cuz its a 6300. SEcond one is a z97

tiny voices · Jul 21, 2014

I am talking about OP, not you. OP= Original Poster.

Jonathan Tyer · Jul 22, 2014

Asus released boards that are non Z that support OCing by multiplier only

tiny voices · Jul 22, 2014

All, I am saying is, that the board in your build is not compatible with your CPU. The computer will not even boot up.

???????????????????????????

Jonathan Tyer · Jul 22, 2014

It MIGHT need a BIOS update for refresh CPUs

tiny voices · Jul 22, 2014

It more than likely will, and you cannot do the BIOS update unless you have an older CPU to put in the board.

There is a 90% chance that board will need the update.
