Build Check for Gaming/Streaming PC

raze_rob · Jul 25, 2014

I'm trying to build a gaming pc(mostly like dota 2) that can stream without hurting the performance. Mostly, I'd like it to be able stream while playing dota and listening to music. The case was already purchased and is a Bitfenix Prodigy. Please let me know what your ideas with these these parts are. I am thinking about changing the processor, increasing the ssd storage, and/or replaying the r9 280x with a gtx770.

TopLuca :

again shouldn't it be a mini itx?

TopLuca :

Don't expect the 280X to run with only 520W, it needs at least 600W to run with leeway for peripherals

What do you mean? The case is micro-ATX and the mobo is micro-ATX, the card will fit perfectly fine according to pcpartpicker. mini itx is a completely unused format. Very few cases and mobos are mini itx

You can get away with it , it really depends on the type of PSU , I think 600W should be more than enough also XFX 550 W should be great
