Help me With a Build

[Bray570]

Hey Guys im looking for a good Gaming Rig. My budget is about 1500$. I want a CPU Build that is stable and very good that can run most games on max setting while recording. Changing the settings to medium or high will recording is still fine. Im a youtube Person and I need a better computer for Streaming and Recording like I said try and keep it under 1500$. I was looking into i5 3570k And AMD 8350. Builds with both of these would be nice and give your opinions.

Hello Bray 570,
The builds posted by some of the other users are fine, but there are some things I would change for your given budget of $1500. That's a lot of money to work with, and getting a B75 chipset motherboard is really limiting. Instead of buying an i7-3770k, I would recommend getting the i5-3570k because for your uses, it should be quite enough for much cheaper than the i7. A Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus/Evo will be suitable. I recommend the Plus as the Evo is virtually identical for $10 more. For RAM, I would get G.Skill or Corsair 8gb at 1600mhz, and upgrade down the road if you're not satisfied with only 8gb. In my experience, 8gb of memory has proven to be more than enough. A Samsung 840 Pro SSD is my recommendation for a boot drive and to store games. A Western Digital Blue or Black 1tb 7200 HDD is sufficient, or a Seagate with the same specifications. For a video card, I would recommend a Radeon HD 7970. It is quite a step up from the 670, and you can afford it by getting the i5 instead of i7. Personally, I would get a Corsair TX650 or CX600 over any Cooler Master PSU. Besides that, everythign else looks good. Let me know if you hvae any questions.

For youtube recording/streaming you will want the performance the FX8350 or the Xeon 1240v2 offers
Don't get the i7's since the Xeon 1240v2 has the same speed but more cache at $15 less
The 1230v2 is $45 cheape than the 3770 but is only 100mhz slower and on a z77 board it can OC to 4.1ghz
Included a decent PSU, HDD and SSD
I would aim for a 23 inch IPS LED monitor like one from ASUS
You can also crossfire the 7950 if you want more gpu performance. The 7950 has the ebst price/perf ratio right now

complete build that includes all things except mouse and keyboard

And the Radeon HD 7970 how much is it and can you give me a link . Should I go with amd Radeon HD 7970 or like gigabyte? or does it matter

 

[NerdBBQ]

AMD Radeon HD 7970 is the card itself, Gigabyte is just a brand with different fans and some other features.

^ I would say the 7950 offers considerably better value at $100 cheaper and can OC to match or exceeed the 7950 and reduce the minimal performance gap

Total with given parts is $1088.87

You can get an i5-3570k if you want and change out the case, add more RAM, but I tried to keep to price a bit lower so you had some left over money.
