Hi guys,

New to the forum hear I'm looking to upgrade my PC as i want to be able to record, edit and render 1080p 60fps gaming footage for YouTube. I have been making YouTube videos for the last 5 years mainly in 1080p wmv files which lose a lot of quality and now wanting to improve my channel I'm in the market for a new processor, motherboard and ram i have around a £1000 to spend give or take depending on what you guys think i need.

I bought my PC about 5 years ago now, having only upgraded the power supply and graphics card in that time. My current set up struggles to record 60fps gameplay when using fraps but seems to be fine when using bandicam but takes around 15 hours to render out a 40 minute video through Adobe Premiere Pro when exporting a H.264 video file which i believe is the only way to export 1080p 60fps video to youtube.

My Current specs are
Graphics Card - EVGA GTX 780
Ram - Corsair 12GB (6x2GB) XMS3 1600MHz
Processor -Intel Core i7 950 (4 x 3.06GHz) 8 MB 4.8GT/s
Power Supply - Corsair Platinum 860W PSU
Motherboard - Asus Rampage II Gene

So what I'm looking for is your recommendations for a much quicker set up I don't have the greatest knowledge when it comes to computer hardware so any help would be great !

I found this package on Overclockers not sure if it would suitable for what I'm after or i need something more powerful.

Hi

I would go for an X99 bundle. The extra cpu cores should be useful for your needs.

I assume you need a micro-atx or mini-itx board ?

You will also need a cooler if you don't have one.

What case do you have ?
 
Thanks for getting back to me so quick!

Regarding needing a micro-atx or mini-itx board that means nothing to me sorry, all i know is my motherboard is very out of date so be nice to replace that as it can't even run USB 3.0 that is built into the case.

The case I'm using is a Thermaltake Armor Revo USB 3.0 Full Tower Case
**Competitor link removed**
Yes i need to get a cooler aswell is there any one you would recommend for that ?

Thanks for your help.

Micro-atx and Mini-itx just refers to the form factor (Size of the motherboard) as some cases will only take a smaller micro-atx or mini-itx board.

The Thermaltake Armor Revo is a full tower case so it will take an ATX sized board.

The Antec H1200 will fit in the roof as the case has mounts there for 2 x 120mm fans. The fans on the Antec are Blue LED.
