Streaming and Gaming PC

FyurexLIVE · Sep 4, 2016

Hello guys, I need a build to be able to stream and game. I mostly play WoW and CSGO but wouldnt mind opening up. I would prefer a build with a 1070GPU. And if possible around the $1500 price range thanks. And can you link the parts so I can click and buy? Thanks!

Do you need os/peripherals/headphones/monitor included in this budget?

Replace the Cryorig fan with Corsair with Red ring to get good looking Red/Black theme build.

No I do not

Here's my build.
Costs much less than Dranzers, has the same performance, 1TB more HDD storage, a super fast 250GB SSD (Why would you not include an SSD in this price range? T.T) and a better value PSU.
The included fans on the S340 are good enough, any extra money spent on case fans is a bit of a waste in this situation imo.
Airflow is already good.

At-least for OC and GTX1080 setup I would go for RM750x instead of CMX650. RM750x has better components in comparison to CMX650 and can perform with less stress and the 10Year warranty attached to it makes it completely worthy of extra $30 as it can be used in 3-4 builds with ease without worrying about it causing trouble. The second and long reason I try too chose RMX series or higher is that it comes with 10year warranty and can be used in 3-4 builds and if something goes wrong in its 8th or 9th year Corsair tries to repair it and even better replaces it when it becomes unrepairable.

ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO vs Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3

1. HERO has better quality capacitors and regulators.
2. HERO has better sound card.
3. HERO has more ports to add on more hardware.
4. HERO has more features in BIOS for overclocking which helps you push your CPU to limits in an easy way and attain better results.
5. HERO has ROG software support which is handy when used and makes the task easier to achieve.
6. HERO is also lot better looking board.

This makes ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO a better motherboard than Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 and completely worthy of its price-tag.

Chugalug_ · Sep 4, 2016

Dranzer, it's a $1500 build, a $200 motherboard is just silly.
Don't use software, lighting and BIOS overclocking features (???? why even mention them?) as selling points.
It will obviously be better, it costs twice as much, but it is excessive.
Would you compare an Audi TT to a Ford Falcon? I don't think so.

Idk about you, but i'd take an 850 Evo 250GB, and an extra 1TB of storage over a "lot better looking board." any day of the week.
Performance>Aesthetics, always.

I went with your motherboard in the end man, asked my friend said gigabyte is complete garbage

Chugalug_ · Sep 27, 2016

Sorry, but your friend is severely misinformed, Gigabyte is one of the top motherboard manufacturers around.
Asus is also good though.

logainofhades · Sep 27, 2016

Have to agree with chugalug_, regarding motherboard. As this is a PC for streaming, I would recommend going with a 6 core CPU. The extra threads will prove useful.
