Hi everyone .. I'm a complete noob when it comes to GPU's & motherboards so I'm looking for some help to find what is best value for money but within my budget. I'll link below a few options I found . ( I'll be using this pc to stream,render,edit videos etc) Not a HUGE amount of gaming but a small bit here and there and nothing too extensive ... at most minecraft.
Option 1 : https://www.amazon.co.uk/PC-Customiser-Gaming-Bitfenix-WARRANTY/dp/B072P6XKC1/ref=sr_1_475?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1494798991&sr=1-475&keywords=pc&th=1
Option 2 : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fierce-Apex-Gaming-PC-High-end/dp/B06XPB7Z49/ref=sr_1_246?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1494797685&sr=1-246&keywords=pc&th=1
Option 3 : https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/ta4/Ankermann-PC-WildRabbit-GAMER-Leistung-operating-Cardreader-4260409311725/B00T0D1BYW/ref=sr_1_36?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1494890049&sr=1-36&keywords=pc
Option 4 : https://www.amazon.co.uk/VIBOX-Gaming-RL770-325-Processor-Motherboard/dp/B06XRLC3J2/ref=sr_1_272?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1494890631&sr=1-272&keywords=pc&th=1

Option 4 is about 150 over my budget but thought I'd put it there incase I'm better off saving more! But Like I said I'm not an expert by any means so any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Honestly option 2 is the best one on the list, the GTX 1060 6GB is significantly better than the 1050 Ti. With those specs you should be able to play most games at High/Ultra 1080p.

why don't you build your own ?

Thanks Tiress, That's the one I had in mind all be it I'm not a massive fan of the case but that's not a real issue! But everything else seems good? Obviously I'll get WIN 10 OS

Honestly dude I would not be anywhere near confident enough to build my own .. Like I know a few basics and that but would be lost when it comes to that

there are tonnes of video tutorials on building , a forum full of experts willing to help , if you have a screwdriver and a bit of common sense then you can do it !

you get ripped off buying pre built pcs. they put really cheap motherboards , power supplies and storage devices in them. i ll post a video up.. watch it when you have got the time and then decide if you can do it or not .

Gotta be honest, It looks like I'd be out of my depth.. But maybe I could see if there is a place near by that could do the build If I buy the parts

Yea I'm not confident at all in doing a build. Could you explain the difference between the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB as the price difference is over 100 quid & like I said I don't know anything about GPU's once again I would be using it to stream use an app emulator but the most intense game I would play would be Minecraft it's not going to be a serious gaming pc

Well for one, the GTX 1060 6GB has 2 more gigs of VRAM and VRAM is essential for newer games and future games. Besides that, the 1060 has better overall performance and can run games better. The 1050 Ti can be overclocked but since you are not comfortable building your own PC, you probably shouldn't try to overclock because it can damage your GPU. With the 1050 Ti you will have some struggle achieving frames at high quality. I have the 1060 6GB and I get an easy 600FPS on minecraft high settings and like 100FPS with shaders on. You should be fine streaming Minecraft. Plus, Minecraft is a CPU intensive game so that i7 will really pay off, like 800FPS maybe.

If you went with that build then you would also need a CPU Cooler, Windows 7/8/10 and a CD Writer or whatever it's called. Still, the second option has 8GB more RAM and a better GPU.

go with the i7 7700 and not the i7 7700k as it includes a stock cooler and choose the b250 version of the pc mate motherboard. the Z270 series of motherboards are for overclocking and i doubt that is something which would interest you. you can then spend a little extra on a better gpu such as the rx 580 or gtx 1060 6gb.

as for windows , if you already have a computer or if not ask a friend : https://www.howtogeek.com/244678/you-dont-need-a-product-key-to-install-and-use-windows-10/

I chose the motherboard because of potential upgrades of ram theres more slots more usb slots too etc and because I wont be doing intense gaming I'm hoping the 1050ti will be fine! Thanks for the OS Solution though I may try that :)

the aim of the majority on this forum, i can't speak for all obviously, is to get you the best performance to cost ratio .the best bang for your buck! what you don't want to do is overspend in one area and neglect another.

in terms of the 1050ti what games will you actually play ?

I'll literally play Minecraft once in a blue moon as the videos I make I use an App emulator for called Bluestacks. That's why I'm not looking to over spend on a GPU
