Hello Folks!

So here's what I'm after. I want to get into the streaming business for fun when im gaming to show off my goofy personality. I will primarily be playing games like Metal Gear V TPP, Witcher 3, and Tales of Zesteria once it launches.

So here's what i need for you! Please reply to this thread on which parts you would recommend i use to build my PC. I was thinking of an Intel build as my AMD build isn't up to snuff anymore. I want to avoid the dedicated streaming pc build so i can move my current pc into the living room for the family.

I was thinking about going...
Intel Core 17 4790k
Geforce GTX 980 (Maybe Ti?)
16G of DDR 3 Ram (maybe DDR4?)
Trying to stay around 1500$ Sweet spot.

So what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance!
 
An i7 4790k will likely not be able to stream 1080/60, it's very, very demanding. Big streamers do 720/60 and sort of use that as default now. If you don't have quality options, you'll be making sure that low end/mid end PC's won't be able to view your stream comfortable, and even bigger problem is their network speed (bandwidth). An i7 is great for streaming however, go with that!

Ofcorse you can change to lower case and lower W PSU for adding more RAM/HDD, better Motherboard OR going with the r9 FURY but this is what I would go with.
