The build listed above is what I plan on using for streaming to twitch/Editing Videos. Can anyone give me an opinion on it or possibly build a better one?

Thanks

There should be no compatibility issues. Great choice on the power supply. I would change the CPU to a 1500X+ and a mobo that supports it. Also a plus 6 core will help with the rendering.

^ I certainly wouldn't change the CPU to a 1500x.

The 1600 is absolutely where its at for those uses

SoccerKid15 · Jun 23, 2017

Yeah so I would recommend making those changes and it will be prefect for what you need it for.

CamTheLegend :

I agree that the 1600 is a good choice.

With some games exceeding 50GB I'd consider a 500GB SSD. Crucial? 480? 520?

You will be downloading 10 or moving it from your current build? Without a disc or DVD drive in that list the answer seems obvious but, one never knows.

So, you believe that future GFX cards will require less power? They have been getting more efficient with time. Just surprised with the sub-500W PSU that doesn't seem upgrade friendly.

SoccerKid15 · Jun 23, 2017

Good changes and this will work great for editing videos and twitching videos

madmatt30 · Jun 23, 2017

Based around keeping the price the same but getting a far better board & faster ram in - hence the case change too.

The 450m will run a 1070/1080/RX 580 with those components easily.
Infact anything upto a 250w GPU.

But yes I'd be more comfortable with a 550w model personally admittedly (the tx though is not great value before the rebate price )

B3 550 - $60 no rebate necessary - a better unit than the tx..

This is my first PC. Can I install windows 10 without a disc drive?

aquielisunari :

madmatt30 · Jun 23, 2017

^ yes , you need a 4gb USB flash drive (I would honestly recommend 8gb) & use the media creation tool from the Microsoft website to make a bootable usb install.

aquielisunari · Jun 23, 2017

CamTheLegend :

You can buy it on a USB https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Home-Flash-Drive/dp/B01019T6O0 but that's a LOT more expensive than the disc which is only $89.

But you don't have a DVD drive which would add another $20. Might be worth it.

SoccerKid15 · Jun 23, 2017

You can use an external optical disk drive

aquielisunari · Jun 23, 2017

madmatt30 :

What about activation? Sure, it only disables personalize and adds a watermark but???

madmatt30 · Jun 23, 2017

You can install from USB yourself but use the key from a purchased DVD.

CamTheLegend · Jun 23, 2017

I just bought this. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vk2F6X do you think its was worth it?

Absolutely rock solid mate.

The only proviso (which I forgot ) is you could do with another 120mm fan for a rear exhaust.
The case comes with 2 x 120mm front intakes only.

You could remove one & use that if you so wish.
