what do you guys think of this build for $1500??

Will be used for streaming with OBS and gaming mainly

antec 900?
is this 2004
horrible build

x99 DDR4 LGA 2011-3 Motherboard
DDR3 Memory
LGA 2011 (not -3) Processor

Where did this build come from?
Not sure why you would go with a 4820k over a 4790k.

just asking for opinions... I did not come up with this build

if you don't like antec - suggest something else instead of just being completely negative

get rid of the case
i'd go about 750w on the PSU
16GB RAM if you find a good sale

what resolution will you be streaming at?


lol shoulda looked closer, thought something seemed off

I was thinking more watts for psu and i do also want 16gb ram but might not need it

720p or 1080p (once i get going)

Get a different keyboard if you don't want a mechanical one. You probably won't need an i7 just to stream or 16 GB of RAM (depending on what you're going to be doing while playing a game and streaming).

An i5 will suit you just fine to stream so you can save $150 by doing this:

Unless you're like a few select people here in CHD that play a game, stream the game, have 30 browser tabs open, and have another game running in the background while doing the rest of this, you won't need 16 GB of RAM.


All that aside, its your money. If you want to spend $1500, I can't stop you.

much better

OP, won't need higher PSU with a 970


me personally, for a streaming beast would go 8320 OC'd ( if OP comfortable with it ) and a 390/x when it comes out. but, i know the intel police will chime in on that.

I like this build

Intel Police present.

That aside, I've just had several (back to back) bad experiences with AMD chips in the past. I told myself I'd never buy another AMD CPU to use myself ever again. However, I'm still comfortable recommending them to other people
+/- 10-15% performance while saving some money isn't a bad thing.

As for the GPU's, if the rumors are true about the 380/x and 390/x cards, they'll use stacked HBM instead of GDDR5 memory. This will be an amazing performance boost for any graphical memory intense application and would definitely be worth the buy.
