Help choosing PC

[tcfreer]

Guys

I've finally had a lucky break and I'm able to look for a nice gaming PC

From all of my previosu questions / threads here I've drawn up a list of things I'd like to do on my PC going forward and what I currently do now.

So Currently now
Play World of Tanks / War Thunder / Transformers Universe / Surf the net / listen to music / Office based stuff(word etc)

What I'd like to start doing
1 - Youtube videos - recording and uploading these
2 - Stream on twitch

I have asked a few of my friends / looked at a few of my favourite Youtubers PC specs etc and they all seem close to the Titan Duo is it that OC build?

Could I aks for help speccing a machine to do what I currently do (Only better) and what I want to do?

Few things I need are
OS
Keyboard
Quiet system pref?
Pre Built if poss cause I can't get the time to do this my self currently - poor excuse I know but its were I am at with 2 jobs now

Budget is upto about 1250 is though I do have wiggle room for the right spec

And I have decided I like Intel / Nvida for the raw power they give out

 

[scotsdragon]

Can you build your self or do you want pre built? (nvm see you want pre built)


I would normally spec a 290 so you get more bang for your buck but as you want NVidia , also you didn't specify if you needed a monitor ive added on but if you don't need it the pc will fall in your budget

Though those builds are overbudget there isn't a lot of wiggle room on the specs you need.

The i7 (4790k) is perfect for gaming and streaming (at the same time) so that's a no brainer.

16GB of RAM for Editing.

And an SSD for fast boot and fast saving.

That ties a lot of your money up..

How far can you push your budget, £1500?

 

[tcfreer]

Maybe yes

Whats in mind?

[tcfreer]

Wow, thats epic!

 

[Tohrazer]

Shivy's builds looks good

 

[tcfreer]

Just measuring up tower space I have - I can't fit the 750 d in the space I have for it

I don't need a moniter - I currently have 2 screens and I don't have the need to go 4k any time soon.

Can any if these fit in the 450d for example or the nxt410?

And I note Shiv has put 512gb SSD's - Can I do with a smaller one of these? 250gb for example?

This would be good for £1500:

Though remember this is a buld yourself so itll be more if you want OCUk to build it?

Do you want me to spec a 'pre-built' for £1500 too?

 

[tcfreer]

I'm going to say no - I need to build this myself and actually make the time - otherwise I'll keep in the rut of work, home, work, sleep repeat 5 with weekends being, just home, work, home, sleep

I need to give myself something to take afew days off for and get out of the office else I'll just go nuts

If I can't, I guess I can ask OCUK to build it for me and add that cost on - think people have banded £60 about?

 

[tcfreer]

Thank you for the help by the way guys - really appreciate the time and effort you guys go into for people asking for help

 

[ShivP]

Doomed you have 2 copies of Windows Also the M500 you have is worse than the MX100 and more expensive
The 450D would fit all the stuff I specced, yes.

 

[tcfreer]

Ok I'll sort out my room redesign - new desk, wardrob and loyout, then get this lot ordered and then look forward to having a proper PC for a change

Rather then the heath robbinson I have

Wow, I messed up a little.

Like you say 1 Windows and a MX100.

 

[tcfreer]

Happens, don't worry

Its a little over £74 to nock off that build and its a good price at just over 1400, only £150 over my upper limit intially.

Once I've resolved my room layout to allow for more space for the pc desk (I have a badly placed raditor that very very rarely gets used, but is right were I would like to put a desk so causes me no end of issues - I am trying to work out a room layout that allows me to have a decent desk, nearer to the middle wall of the house, thus being closer to the router that is downstairs towards the front of the house, but this raditor is against that wall.) I'll get the parts ordered, then I ahve asked my dad to help with the build and OS install - he's done this before and has a better tool selection then me rofl
