Streaming/Gaming PC for less than $1000

Jojojohannn · Nov 22, 2016

Okay, so I've been gaming for a while now and would like to livestream my games through Twitch.tv. I'm very new and clueless about anything really. I would like to build a decent streaming PC capable of 1080p at 30fps. I mainly play PS4 and would like to broadcast my gameplay and also be able to use this streaming PC to game as well. My internet connection is over 100mbps, I also bought an AverMedia Capture HD. I mainly play FPS shooters such as the new Call of Duty, Rainbow Six: Siege, and GTA V. This is my first time building a PC. The budget is limited to $1000 and I don't want to mess it up. Any help I can get would be amazing. Thanks a ton.

I'll post a build in a bit, would you be interested in gaming on PC?
Should I include a graphics card?

Built you my preferable $1000 build. If you don't like anything on the list, I won't take it personally.

This will easily run & stream all those games at 60+ fps at 1080P.

Enjoy!

If you're wondering why I put the 6700k in instead of the 6700, it's $10 cheaper and has higher clock speeds, I would have included a cooler anyway due to the high load streaming puts on the processor.
I assume you're not overclocking?

Jojojohannn · Nov 22, 2016

Yes please! I game mainly on PS4 but would like to dabble on PC gaming as well

I don't plan to overclock right now but I might in the future. But, if the price of the i7 6700k is $10 more, I might as well consider it. My next question would be what would be a good cooling system for the i7 6700k?

Chugalug_ · Nov 22, 2016

The Cryorig H7, I've included it above, great cooler and should handle any overclock you throw at it while keeping temps low.

Jojojohannn · Nov 28, 2016

I'm trying to buy all the parts right now, and since the video card is sold out everywhere, I was wondering if you could recommend a slightly better one for a bout the same price or a little bit more? I'm trying to order everything at once. Thanks.

Jojojohannn :

Try the 1070. A bit more expensive but outperforms the 1060 by a lot.

Jojojohannn · Nov 28, 2016

there are a few 1070s out there. can you tell me which one would be good? thanks

Jojojohannn :

Depends on what you want.

There's a mini 1070, an overclocked 1070, a superclocked 1070, a dual fan 1070, etc.

Jojojohannn · Nov 28, 2016

I'm buying all the parts on that list, whichever one would be the best bang for my buck. Not trying to go overboard or anything as well. I'm on a budget lol

Swapped out the 1060 for the cheapest 1070.

Jojojohannn · Nov 28, 2016

forsure thanks. I appreciate the help

RylieDetchon · Nov 28, 2016

Jojojohannn :

No problem.

RylieDetchon · Nov 28, 2016

Jojojohannn :

If you want, you can go for an AMD Radeon RX 480 instead. Cheaper, but not sure how well it performs against the 1070.

EDIT: Here is a video if you want to compare the two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QesyBfKjTmM
