gaming/streaming/video editing computer upgrade

Zalgo · Jul 17, 2016

So, i'll begin with my budget which is roughly "$2000" I put it in quote because that is my actual budget and I would not want to really get too close to that (but I am aware I am going to need to spend to get what I want), this build is also being built early September.

This is my current build:

what I am keeping is:
GPU
CD/BD drives
HDD as secondaries

What I want to work around is my planned CPU which is an i7 6700k (feel free to let me know if this is a good cpu for what I plan to do). I'd also like to know if it would be better to try and crossfire my GPU or just do a full upgrade (this upgrade is going to be done later due to cost). Also do not worry about the case, I'll deal with that in the end. Just the insides for now.

My uses for this computer:

High end gaming, streaming, and alot of video editing (not just editing stream clips either).

sure you could do a complete build for under 2K no problem. Just a quick example build with i7-6700k and GTX 1080.

thanks alot, this is perfect. I'll save some cash by opting out of the GPU, and PSU (have a 750 thats still running solid)

thanks again.

you could probably swing a Broadwell-E series in that range as well. It wouldn't help any for gaming but it might help some with render jobs.
