Good Steaming/Recording/Gaming PC??

Ninja_3 · Feb 10, 2017

I've made this PcPartPicker http://pcpartpicker.com/user/NeonGamer/saved/#view=p9623C
I want to stream Minecraft (and stream GTAV if possible) and record minecraft videos in 60fps+ and also render videos in 1080p 60fps

I also want to edit videos, use photoshop (im fairly good at it) use audacity and play around with FL Studio.

Is this a good PC? Please tell me some cheaper options that will work too, as im trying to make the perfect pc for all my needs with a low cost. My budget is under 1000 or under 900. The case i chose is amazing, judging from the photo im not changing it i love it.

EDIT: Sorry, i took out the bold.

Why so much bold? It's difficult to read.

I've looked over your list and it's not very optimized at all. Some compatibility issues exist in that you're using an unlocked CPU on a motherboard that can't overclock.

Will it run? Yep.
Will it look pretty good? If you're just into looking at a case and not showing off the internals, yes.
Do I recommend that power supply? Definitely not.
Do I recommend using a single length radiator with unlocked CPUs? No.

Below is my recommended list for your budget and use scenario:

Sorry for being on the picky side and also very sorry for not mentioning a couple things.
I wont be overclocking, as i dont want to mess anything up and i dont even know how to. I will be showing off my sexeh PC. And i was trying to get a Blue Theme going on so im not a fan of the red ram sticks. I will add leds if i can find a tutorial online.
Oh yeah, and i picked the NZXT cpu cooler because it looked cool and it had leds lol.
Do you have any other ideas of ram sticks and cpu coolers?

I was going by price, not color. Function over form when on a budget. Always.

May I ask what about that case has you so hooked? You can't even fit the taller more popular CPU coolers in it. It also puts the drive cages right against the front panel and brings them the whole way down which limits intake airflow as well as ruining compatibility with longer graphics cards that would need the extra space for an extra long cooler.

Hmm i guess i didnt see that part of the case.
The case looks more like a hardcore gaming pc and the front has that cool design with the leds. I also like the side panel how it has the X shape, design.
I would also like to have a beautiful design as well as amazing performance.

BTW, Do i really need a CPU Cooler? I wont be overclocking. Also CPU Coolers seem really hard to set up and put together.

Heres the list https://pcpartpicker.com/user/NeonGamer/saved/p9623C
Can i take out the CPU Cooler? Or not.

The i5 6500 comes with an Intel stock cooler. It may get loud during long gaming sessions, but it's universally compatible and is designed to handle that CPU's thermal output.

It will work but there are more silent options available if you're into that.

That's fine because the PC's fan im using right now makes a not too loud but "hear-able" noise and it's under my desk.
What do you think about that PCPartPicker list i edited?

Before I answer that question, I need to vent some excitement. I didn't know that case went on sale! I've been recommending the ZONDDA series because it's only $45 on Newegg but I guess you found the newer version for less!

Back to the topic at hand. The build looks good except for the SSD. Samsung SSD 850 EVO series is always my first recommendation and then the Sandisk SSD Plus series if the 850 EVO series is too expensive for you. If you buy that Zotac SSD, I think you'll be disappointed in its fast HDD like performance.

First, I'd like to say thank you for staying here and not leaving me in the middle of this forum post and helping me out A LOT.
Second, you're very welcome, i love that case too

I've chose this SSD --> https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8jH48d/sandisk-ssd-plus-240gb-25-solid-state-drive-sdssda-240g-g26
The Samsung 850 EVO Series was 10-25$ more expensive for just 10-20GB more but its all good.
This is the list so far. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FbNdgL
