If you are not overclocking and never plan to in the future, I would get the i5-2400 instead and a H67 chipset motherboard. However, since overclocking is very simple nowadays, I recommend the i5-2500k and a p67/z68 motherboard.

You should upgrade to the i5 2500k, if you plan to overclock in the future. Seems like a good investment to me.

You also dont need 16gb of ram. 8 should do. If you really want 16 you should go for 2x 8gb sticks.

Less ram? I spend about 8-10 hrs a day on the computer playing games. I want to be able to stream them as well. Probably will have several web browsers open while this going on as well. So still less ram? Or is that a cpu thing? Sorry im not good with this kinda stuff at all :S

 

[azeem40]

So you will be doing video recording and editing too?

 

[KrakenDomes]

no editing, just streaming the games I am in using owned.tv and their streaming service.
