$800 Gaming Rig Help

iRaariTy · Sep 19, 2014

I'm building an $800 PC as you can see in the title and i was wondering if (Excluding the Case) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YF6xTW is going to be able to run most graphic intensive games at 60+ FPS while streaming, or if i should change anything. I was also wondering how "Future Proof" it will be. Thank you in advance for any Info.

iRaariTy :

i dont think you will get 60 fps while streaming on an 800$ budget..depends on the game and res

Entomber · Sep 19, 2014

that's not going to be able to run the MOST graphically intense games at max settings @ 60FPS @1080p, but it'll be very good.

Plus, you already ran over $800 without a case

Future proof? Not really. Why don't you grab a GTX 970 instead? Same price point, better performance, new..

The GTX 970 is a little more expensive ($30 bucks), but you'll get something like a 780 in terms of performance, and a lot more efficient in terms of energy consumption.

Here is what I came up with. It comes in at $850 BEFORE rebates. I will try to see what you can get with a GTX980 next.

Didn't realize it was only $30 more, i'll make sure to pick it up. Also what would i need to run graphic intensive games at max settings while streaming.

Entomber :

Definitely will

Something like this. But it comes in at $872 before rebates. It would be $830 after rebates. But that includes the GTX 970, which I think is a wise choice.

Ok i changed up the build a little, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/n79pD3 Really all im wondering now is what i'd need to run max settings @ 60fps 1080p While streaming. Thank you! (I'm aware the build is over 800) I'm buying the pc cyber monday so maybe I'll be able to get some good deals.

Entomber · Sep 19, 2014

of course, it would depend on the game whether or not you could run it at max settings @ 60FPS but for most games you should be able to now.

Streaming is not actually as taxing on your system as you think it is. Most of it is dependent on your CPU and internet speed, and you already have a very good CPU.

My internet is 5 mbps up 30mbps Down. I'm just hoping i get some good deals on cyber monday, I might even be able to pick up an i7 or SSD, as i think and SSD would really help

Entomber · Sep 19, 2014

With streaming, it won't. The only thing SSDs noticeably affect is loading times.

Also, don't expect to stream in 1080p with that speed of connection.

I would recommend going with this ram over the one you have in your list. It's better ram for less money.

Get the GTX 970 as soon as posible, newly released cards fly off the shelves.
