Hello everyone, currently I have a PC with specs below:
- 600 watt shitty zalman power supply
- msi z170a gaming pro
- core i5 6500
- 8gb single kit kingston 2666 hyperx memory
-gigabyte g1 gaming gtx 980
-zalman z1 neo case
So I bought this PC around 2016 May. It still is a decent PC I know, but when it comes to streaming on twitch, well let alone the x264 encoder, even with quicksync or NVENC encoders, it affects my FPS during the games. And back in 2016 I had hopes to upgrade my intel CPU and overclock further in future with kaby lake later coffee lake(we all know how that turned out).
Then AMD came out of nowhere and busted the market, and since they said they will be supporting their AM4 socket until 2020, now I am in love with R7 1700 processor which will be way enough for both streaming and gaming at the same time.
So here is my dream PC now
-AMD RYZEN 7 1700 ( I am planning to overclock it to 4.0ghz, if wont work, at least 3.9)
-GIGABYTE AX370-Gaming K5 motherboard
-Be quiet! PURE BASE 600
-Kingston HyperX Predator 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200 (single rank, RAM prices are freaking high)
-CoolerMaster Vanquard Gold Series 850W
-Corsair H110i Extreme (maybe NZXT kraken x61)
-Samsung SSD 850 EVO - 500GB, Basic
I am definitely not thinking a new graphics card since I'm using 1080p monitor for games. G1 Gaming gtx 980 is a god damn good card with a huge overclock potential (if not compared to pascal overclock
). In worst case I can just put another second hand gtx 980 for sli for 150 usd or so.
Coffee lake is about to happen I know but still I dont think intel will be able to overcome their hunger for cash and offer us some reasonable prices as well as AMD, let s say i7 8700k will be around 330$ but I still think that it wont beat the r7 1700, at least it will match up and since I realized how intel is trying to manipulate the market one handed and milk us all, I decided to support AMD so at least there can be a competitive rival for intel(yea right buying one cpu from amd will do that but maybe some others will think the same as me).
I have lack of knowledge about AMD motherboards, as well as their CPUs although I still continue to watch and read about the technology behind AMD CPUs and performance reviews. I have never used watercooling systems. I believe Be quiet pure base 600 is a beautiful case on its price range. I deliberately chose high powered power supply so it is possible to upgrade GPU or SLI or some other sh.t that can require more power in future.
I am open to any kind of suggestions about the parts, when to buy, market analysis , wait or not wait for another gen of processors(either intel or amd).
Oh and when I bought my 1 year old PC last year, I was not employed, now I am so I have bit more money to spend. I am planning to make this build happen in a month or two.
Thanks in advance anyone who comments&shares ideas!
