Is my build good for gaming?

GetRektGaming · May 16, 2017

Hello, I have made a build for gaming and some school work here and there. I was wondering if it was a good build as it is my first time building a pc. Also, if you have any improvements feel free to let me know. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cDRpnn

??
I got you the same thing, but with a mechanical keyboard, a GTX 1080, a better mouse and faster storage for only $80 more.
If you want it cheaper I can update.

Chugalug_ :

It's a good build, I just wanted an amd build because of the cores

Chugalug_ · May 18, 2017

More than 8 threads won't help at all in gaming atm, plus the 7700 performs much better than Ryzen in games.
Ryzen is only a good option if you're doing video rendering or 3D modelling work, Intel still has the advantage in gaming.
More cores does not necessarily = better.

I will be streaming in about 6 months and editing videos with Sony Vegas pro, probably should've mentioned that in the thread.

Chugalug_ · May 18, 2017

Yeah probably should have!
