How is this build for Gaming/YouTube?

Comp learned · Dec 27, 2014

I recently built a build for a budget of $600 and this is what I came up with

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/flare30/saved/Cg9ypg

This computer will be used for recording on youtube(minecraft), also live streaming.

I already have the monitor keyboard and mouse.

Would this build work out with my requirements?

Is there anything to add or change?

Rafi Khan · Dec 27, 2014

Awesome build, if anything I suggest getting a Samsung EVO 60/120 GB SSD as a boot drive, but you don't have to. It will make your PC quite a lot faster, especially increasing boot times.

Thanks!

Rafi Khan :

I agree. Great budget build you have there.

Rafi Khan :

Alright, Would this build meet my requirements as in Recording and Streaming?

Rafi Khan · Dec 27, 2014

Comp learned :

Definitely!

If you have the money I would get a better cpu maybe an i5 4670 or 4690, this would help editing, rendering, live streaming etc

Rafi Khan · Dec 27, 2014

Why the aftermarket cooler? If you are not overclocking then its better to stick with the stock cooler, especially for saving money

Changed the core https://pcpartpicker.com/user/flare30/saved/#savedbuild_1831475 Good now?

Rafi Khan :

So I don't need a separate cooler to buy?

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 27, 2014

Get a R9 270 or a R7 265 way better.

Bhavneet Pannu :

Would it give way better performance then the GTX 750?

Rafi Khan · Dec 27, 2014

Please don't use a single channel RAM stick.
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/326321-30-single-memory-dual-channel

There is no point using overclocked RAM that is not supported by your CPU, you will be stuck using 1600MHz even though your RAM stick supports and recommends 1866Mhz

Take a look at the one below.

I changed you graphics card, gave you a Haswell processor (faster, more efficient) a latet Intel H97 Motherboard (latest for non-overclockers) and gave a ssd (128gb) for boot drive and also for important programs. Removed the unnecessary aftermarket cooler, changed it to a dual channel RAM kit

Thanks!

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 27, 2014

Comp learned :

WAY better.

Comp learned · Dec 27, 2014

Bhavneet Pannu :

Could you tell me the reasons? When I see the benchmarkings or suggestions, the GTX 750 is better in performance wise

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 27, 2014

In what benchmark is the gtx 750 ti better than the R7 265?

Comp learned · Dec 27, 2014

Rafi Khan :

Problem with the build you fixed up for me is it goes over my budget in Canadian Money.

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/z3t0/saved/4LGV3C

If I don't necessarily need the SSD that would fix the money problem.

Comp learned · Dec 27, 2014

OH i forgot to add a cooler. Get the cooler master EVO 212. Who ever thinks that i5 can live stream games at 720p60fps without killing it self is crazy. Have you guys ever done twitch live streaming?

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 27, 2014

That website was the US version, Some of the parts can't ship in canada and the prices were near $700.

Thank you

Can I get a idea on how good this PC would perform?

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 27, 2014

Okay. Battlefield 4 multiplayer 64 players 1080p Ultra Not fully AA (can never be reached in this budget) 60+ fps (sometimes lower.) When Live streaming turn the setting to Ultra with No AA or High. Live streaming can only be done in 720p60fps because even a $300 cpu has problems live streaming 1080p 60fps. You could live stream 1080p30fps but The 720p will look better. Minecraft ULTRA with over 120fps. Most Monitors only show 60fps so your fine.
