Budget: $1100
More specific use (what games, what programs): Streaming games like csgo, pubg, diablo, and future games
Planned time until purchase: max 1 week, prolly within the next 2-3 days
Do you need an Operating System?: nope
Do you have any specific preferred components?: would reaaally like the rgb NZXT Kraken X52 water cooling but if i can make a huge difference in performance without it then im open to regular cooling.
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: nope
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: not overclocking
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: nope
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 08837

if ur not overclock then there is no point in spending over $15 on a heatsink

muh turbo

/e I got you an RGB motherboard and RGB RAM. The CPU cooler that comes with the CPU is decent.

bruhh i didnt even know they had rgb motherboards and ram. those are cool but id rather have an i7-6700 or 7700(not sure which to get btw), if theres still rgb stuff that i can get thatll meet the budget thatd be nice. but an i7 and a nice gpu is mandatory

Is aesthetics a must? Because 1100$ with an i7 Is kinda harsh.



Nice too se you actually changed out a part this time ^^.
But 3000-3200MHz with Ryzen is pretty much a must, it scales greatly with the higher frequency.

You requested an i7 build on budget:

Maybe you have an HDD you can reuse as storage?
Honestly would rather recommend an ryzen 1600 build.

NOTICE: CPU Cooling do not make an performance difference, as long it doesn't reach above 90c so it start throttling down the frequency. You will not magically gain a boost in performance with a lower CPU temperature, It's where overclocking comes into the picture.

aesthetics arent a must, if anything i can just add in some stuff later on like the rgb cooler. but yeah i want the i7 over the ryzen



i like this a lot, might have to pick it up
edit: gonna see what i can make myself to still have some aesthetics but will probably just hold off on the flashy rgb stuff until i get more $ to spend

I made a recent rgb build, Ryzen 1700 w/ 1080ti
Ez get 165+ fps on pubg on my Asus Rog 1440p 165hz ips monitor
Ez overkill on csgo
Haven't touched d3 in awhile but that would be overkilled too.
Also Smooth af while streaming
Just for reference.

7700k would be worth it if ur gonna OC and put work on it by delidding etc to use it to its full potential, But if u have no plans on ocing, ur paying more for that and more for rgb. With ur budget, it's better to get performance over looks imo. Also u won't notice the difference btwn 6700k/7700k/ryzen with ur naked eye, but u will notice the rgb
