Good afternoon,
I'm looking for some help on a build that will give me long lasting quality for streaming current and upcoming games. I can either go with a two system setup or an intense one system setup. I've been torn up about the decision. I was thinking of getting the Pro Streamer from cyberpower but I do not think I'd be able to overclock the 7900x substantially with the setup. If you could please recommend me the following based on the budget provided:


Budget: $6000 Monitor Budget: $1000

Main uses: Streaming PUBG, WoW, Destiny 2, Some video editing

Single PC Setup:
CPU:
GPU:
Display:
PSU:
RAM:
Cooler:

If 2 PC's, 2nd PC Setup:
CPU:
GPU:
Motherboard:


Any suggestions would help as I keep going back and forth after reading things online about overclocking and cooling. I also keep reading that you want to do a 2 PC setup but I'm unsure of doing 2 if I can just make a super PC for $6000. Thanks in advance. If you have any other suggestions outside of the specs requested feel free to make them as well. Just looking for an overall solid build suggestion for high quality streaming.

You only need half of that money to accomplish what you need. The next gen. Intel i7 8700k with 6 cores launching on 5th of Oct" should be able to do both gaming and streaming very wisely. Something like this should be enough for you...

At this price point there is no reason to not go Threadripper. It has slightly inferior gaming performance (at this price point you'll never be CPU bound anyway), but it will smash multi-threaded workloads (streaming, rendering, etc.)

I will not be including a cooler because it is in your best interest to make a custom water loop for your system with EK's new Threadripper water blocks. You could buy an AIO cooler, but some manufacturers still don't have TR4 brackets and Asetek AIO coolers don't fit the whole IHS (granted it does cover all 4 of the dies, so this is still a viable option but custom water cooling is preferred for max overclocking potential).

I'm not a monitor expert so I'll give you my best guess, but don't take my word on that.

MASSIVE DISCLAIMER: You can VERY EASILY accomplish what you want with literally more than half of your budget cut. I just made the system according to your budget. It is in your best interest to save money and wait either until Coffee Lake (which comes out soon) and only get 1 1080ti, or to get a Ryzen 7 1800X which will smash everything anyway.

This is about as no-compromises as it gets for a PC. Of course you're still under budget, so you could upgrade RAM or storage, or pick a different case, many of these are just placeholders, as stuff like that is mostly your preference. This will smash pretty much everything you can throw at it.
