Hello!

I'm going to build a pc soon in the UK. I got no clue about PCs so I would really appreciate some help. What I'm looking for is a very good PC that I can stream with in really good quality even though I might not have a good internet. I can spend around 1200£-1500£ Maxiumum. I don't know how to put a PC together so maybe it's more worth buying a complete built PC already. I'm wondering that as well. Maybe I should just buy the parts and let someone else build it for me? What's the best? Please tell me and help me out with building the best PC I possibly can for my budget! Mainly going to stream FPS games, so I really want to be able to stream in very good quality with high fps and no lagg at all. Thank you very much!

The best is you learn how to do it yourself. It's not that complicated, and there are a lot of online tutorial videos to help.
If you have a friend who's savvy, have them come around to assist, or pay them in beer and curry ;)


Here's a good build for way under the budget (it doesn't include a monitor, so there's room to add a really good one). Regarding the graphics, I'd consider waiting for the GTX 1070 in just a few weeks.

I am a special ed. teacher. It was these original videos by neweggtv, that showed me and my 10 year old son that we'd be able to build our own machine. Yes, they're 5 years old, but they're still very relevant. I showed them to my wife last weekend when I showed her how to assemble her machine.

Thank you very much for your answer! Alirhgt I'll probably try and build it myself then or get help from a friend, in the worst case I'll just have to let a company build it for me. The build seems good, but I've hear something about I7 is very good for a streaming pc? I mean is the lifetime of this PC build good and isn't it anything I can improve to make it even smoother really? I already have all the other equipment, monitor etc so I'm just going to spend the money for the PC only :) Ty!

For another 125-ish pounds, you get the I7-6700 instead of the I5-6500.

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/7V7CmG/intel-cpu-bx80662i76700 Both will work well. Yes, the I7 is a more powerful cpu.and it's well within your budget

Hello again!

So I'm going to order in about a week. I want to order everything from overclockers UK and they didn't have all the items that I wanted so I told them to replace them with something simillar or even better, so now my build looks like this:
CPU: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/intel-core-i7-6700k-4.0ghz-skylake-socket-lga1151-processor-retail-cp-581-in.html
CPU Cooler: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cooler-master-hyper-212x-cpu-cooler-hs-072-cm.html
Motherboard: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-ga-z170x-gaming-3-intel-z170-socket-1151-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-528-gi.html
Memory: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair-vengeance-lpx-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-pc4-19200c14-2400mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-cmk16gx4m2a24-my-439-cs.html
Storage: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/samsung-250gb-850-evo-ssd-2.5-sata-6gbps-32-layer-3d-v-nand-solid-state-drive-mz-75e250b-eu-hd-191-sa.html
Storage: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-blue-1tb-7200rpm-sata-6gb-s-64mb-cache-hdd-oem-wd10ezex-hd-366-wd.html
Video Card: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/zotac-geforce-gtx-970-gaming-edition-4096mb-gddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-zt-90101-10p-gx-071-zt.html
Case: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-enthoo-pro-m-midi-tower-case-with-window-black-ca-031-pt.html
Power Supply: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/evga-supernova-g2-650w-80-plus-gold-modular-power-supply-ca-026-ea.html
Optical Drive: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-24x-dvdrw-drw-24f1mt-sata-rewriter-black-retail-cd-056-as.html
Operating System: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/microsoft-windows-10-64-bit-dvd-oem-ms-kw9-00139-sw-172-ms.html

How do you think it looks? :) Also you told me to wait for the GTX 1070, is this the one you mean? --> https://www.overclockers.co.uk/kfa2-geforce-gtx-1070-hof-8192mb-gddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-092-kf.html

And is it a huge different if I order that instead? Because I'm considering it. Thanks again for the replies! :)
