I was putting together a PC thats within my price range and i was wondering what you guys thought of this build. Ive been reading reviews on the storage A-Data Premier Pro SP600 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive, and i read that it dies SUPER fast... Not worth paying 74.99 for this thing if its only gonna last a few months.. tell me what you guys think of the build and if i should replace any parts!

u shouldn't get that pc mate board nor that cheap PSU to overclock with.
as for SSD, the samsung is better in everyway for 3bux more
optical drives are really useless these days, tho if u really want it, get a random one for 12.99

This

If I remember right you want to spend about 40% of your budget on your gpu..... although you might want a good cpu since you are streaming but don't let your gpu bottleneck your rig and do you want wifi?

I got a i5-4690k for $180 with $30 off a mobo at microcenter

Edit: it looks like they are still cheap

also if you want to buy shit on sale this could be useful

If he goes 4460/4690k he should be getting 390/970 to make it worth imo. Esp if he plans streaming. Easier to just replace a 950 to a better gpu in future than getting cok blocked with 4460/4690k with 960/380
