...to build a couple of rigs for my son & daughter. They want to stream minecraft, now I understand there will be a performance hit but there's no budget for a dedicated streaming PC.
Poor things are currently using some old PC's I got from work, we're talking second gen i3's. So at a pinch, I could still use these cases and I have one decent PSU already. I also have a 250Gb SSD and a 1Tb hybrid I can salvage out of a NAS.
Like the title says, I've not built a PC for a long time, my last serious build was using the Abit BP6 motherboard with dual celerons and those lovely golden orb coolers!
Research so far has lead me down the X570 chipset and a Ryzen 5 of some descrip. I'd be looking to save costs wherever possible so both will prob go for only 8Gb DDR4 to start and a board that will let me upgrade to 16Gb later.
I can fully see that keeping the old HP cases might be a hassle, I made the mistake of getting a very small PC and it has a dinky GTX970 in it but now limited upgrade options.
Budget is around £600 per rig. Got the two drives and a modular 600w PSU already.
