Hardware Build a PC
1

Hey,

So I'm looking to build a pc for gaming, streaming and multitasking. Wanting to run high setting with at least 40+ fps on any game. Went with the SSD for my OS and any other essentials. I've picked out a build and was wondering everyone's thoughts. Please feel free to recommend something that might be a better alternative. Thanks boys and girls!

 Also was looking at the 500R case if I decide to go with liquid cooling down the road.

I had that motherboard and CPU running myself for a year, great pick in my opinion.

What I would do is maybe get cheaper memory running at 1600MHz and a cheaper power supply (750W is overkill). Put the money I saved into a better graphic card.

I'm almost certain you would benefit from doing this, FPS-wise.

Also maybe this SSD instead of the one you picked:

Cheaper and I believe Logan reviewed it in one of his last videos.

But even if you go with what you put together here it'd be quite alright, and maybe you have other reason to go with those components instead of others, like it.

Pretty much what laughingman said.  1600mhz ram will work just fine for gaming.

Keep the 750w PSU if you plan on running SLI.   Otherwise, get a decent quality 550w PSU.
