Hello more experienced builders than me!
Going to use the template as I'm having a bit of an issue working out what's best for the best price for my needs. Looking to build a machine (I have experience although it's been a few years) specifically for twitch streaming/youtube creation. However unlike a lot of the threads I've seen here I'm not looking to play any modern AAA titles. Mostly looking at retro games through an elgato device coming in or indie games that usually have low requirements.
However Twitch and video editing/recording can still require some beastly specs. I'm not sure if sacrificing a bit here and there would still get me what I need, or if I'd still have to go the $1500 or so route even without the AAA modern game requirement. Hopefully this info helps. If I can get it under $1000 that'd be awesome, but perhaps you all could tell me if that's feasible or not.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Recording/video editing of games, including incoming video from capture device.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Full system Upgrade
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg or tiger direct, but if you know reputable dealers elsewhere I'm game
Location: Merrimack Valley, massachusetts, but drive to Kittery for work. The northern seaboard of mass, to lower maine is well known to me
Parts Preferences: Preferably something that could allow a linux dual boot, but not fully necessary
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, if it helps with the recording/streaming
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: 6 year old current desktop doesn't do the trick for this project
