Im wanting to build a computer for archeage, black desert, heavily modded skyrim, witcher 3, WoW, da3, rust, dayz like games, bf4 ect. id like to have the ability to upgrade to be able to play 1440p. but am gunna start out at 1080p

. I made the mistake of not only going laptop but not building my comp and got a Lemon http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-G73JH-RBBX05-Notebook-PC-Black/dp/B00405WVVW. because of this im hesitant to touch amd. (why? cant update drivers and if a fan, yes a regular household whirlwind fan, isnt blasting it in the back in overheats.)

If anyone can help me with a build id appreciate it.

overclocking? yes not to the extreme tho

prefer nividia but if you can tell me amd wont under-perform on me again ill consider it.

streaming? maybe some people watch my friends stream because they wanna watch me so i might as well.

ssd? yes please but, big BUT, if i can throw that 100+ bucks into better performance. 30 sec startup vs 8 second isnt so bad.

HD im rocking 300gb fine right now so 1TB is more than enough.

need wifi

need os

need monitor 1080p low ms good contrast. doesnt necessarily need to be included.

Changed MoBo to Asus because I find them the best and most reliable MoBo maker. Changed RAM to low latency (7). Changed HDD to Hybrid so things on your secondary drive load faster. Changed PSU to 850w to allow you SLI in the future. Changed Win7 to the latest version.

Most of the changes are for making life easier if you want to SLI in the future. No performance diffrence expect the Hybrid and RAM.

Good luck, have fun with your next build :D

I've tested that MB it's very stable to 4.8 GHz and he said that he doesn't need to OCing too much so I basicly imagined that he will be OK at 4.5 GHz & as you can go to reviews Here & Here to see the MB scores .
... can I ask you a Q ? why U choose the 780 and not chosen 290 although R9 290 is better performance/$ for now and for the future (1440p monitor that he'll buy) ?
see Here & Here& Here and Here.

Nvidia cards from GTX 650 to 690 and 750 to 780Ti has hardware encoding for H.264.

He can use the Shadowplay to stream if he wants. :)
