Gaming/Streaming computer setup

I think the graphics card is a bit weak I suggest getting this or better 7850 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681... to get the funds get the i5 instead of the i7.

I don't think an i5 will cut it for 1080p multibitrate streaming

I don't think a GTX 560 will either.

I am considering upgrading the card, but I won't downgrade the CPU

Hi  

An Operating system and a DVD Drive would help....

All the best Brett  

I already have all the other things I haven't mentioned previously  

Hi  

Ok...then you need a MUCH better graphics card...that one is low end...

All the best Brett  

Do you think the Radeon HD 7850 will cut it? 2GB GDDR5

Hi  

Not really, its only slightly better...

The advice we give customers in my shops about a gaming machine is this...

Add up the TOTAL cost of everything you are going to buy and then spend another 50% of that total on the card...

All the best Brett  

so you are recommending I spend about $500 on the video card?

Hi  

Yes, and even that wont get you the best card, but it will be a GOOD one...

All the best Brett  

What do you think about the nvidia GTX 680?

Hi  

Yes its a good card , with various versions....the more you pay the better version you get...

All the best Brett  

Could you suggest something? With all the different versions, I don't know what to look for
