Can This Handle Streaming and Gaming at the same time ?

TopLuca · Jul 22, 2014

So My Situation is a little bit complicated , at the time being I am away at a working trip and I need a temporary PC that can handle Video Editing , Photoshop , Gaming and Streaming.I got the R9 290 Tri-X OC from amazon for 369.99$ which seemed like a good deal for my Permanent rig back at home but currently I made some research on the cheapest available System that won't really bottleneck the Card that much , Also I don't intend on doing any Overclocking in the time being.

Here's my temporary build ( I am aiming to play games at High Settings and Stream at good quality )
CPU : AMD FX 8320 Black Edition 3.5GHz AM3+ ( 129.99$ @MicroCenter )
Motherboard ; MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ ATX AMD Motherboard ( 39.99$ @Microcenter )
HDD : WD Blue 1TB 7,200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" ( 49.99$ @Microcenter )
SSD : Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 120GB ( 70.99$ @Amazon ) [ Already Owned ]
GPU : Sapphire R9-290 Tri-X OC ( 369.99$ @Amazon ) [ Already Owned ]
PSU :Not Really Sure what to Buy , At home I have a TX650W and the Minimum Requirement for R9290 is 750W ( I know that it couldn't be so demanding as it only consumes 300W at Full Load so Can My TX650W handle this ? ) Should I choose the CX600M or the CX750W for my temporary build ( I want it as cheap as possible )
RAM :Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 ( 78.85$ @Amazon )
Case :Rosewill Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case CHALLENGER-U3 Black ( 39.99$ @Newegg )
Total Without the Owned Parts is 431$ Roughly with the CX750M Chosen

thanks for the Help in Advance

Everything if fine except that motherboard, its really not anything you want in your system.
Also since the CX series PSUs are not great quality, get the 750W version.

Novuake :

What about the TX650 , Can it Handle the R9 290 and I5-3570K ?

What about also this motherboard ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Socket AM3+ ATX AMD Motherboard ( 49.99$ @Microcenter )

Bare in Mind I'll also be using an Internal Capture Card so I don't know if it has the required PCIe Express ports , so it'll be great if you could look that for me up in the provided mobo

Yeah, that Asus motherboard is A LOT better.
It also has a lot of PCI-e connectors.

The Corsair TX650 is also of excellent quality, there are different versions though, V1 is decent, V2 is GREAT, V3 is also decent.

You are suddenly asking about an Intel CPU? Then you need to change your mobo as well???

Novuake :

I have the V2 , But you didn't get my question , I have one rig at home with the 3570K and Z77 Extreme 4 from ASRock so I was asking about whether the TX650 can handle the processor and the GPU Together so Apparently it should
However I am building a temp system with the listed configs and The mobo I supplied at the end and the CX750W . Did you get me now

Sort of...

TopLuca · Jul 22, 2014

Never mind about the Intel thing , now that the Specified mobo ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Socket AM3+ ATX AMD Motherboard is out of stock , is this a decent one asrock 970 extreme3 r2.0 atx am3+ motherboard

Its better than the original MSI board.

Not as good as the Asus though.
