Not included:
1080p monitor
standard keyboard/mouse
750w PSU
Windows 7 Ultimate
What it will be used for:
- Gaming (Fully modded games like Skyrim or Minecraft. I'd like to get them looking as pretty as I can and be as expansive as I can. Also games like COD and Titanfall.)
- Streaming (to Twitch and Youtube simultaneously. I think it's more weighing on internet than it is PC, but it will be a use anyway)
- Recording (With Fraps, if that matters. May consider another recording device, but Fraps has treated me well and I own it. Would take recommendations, for sure)
- Rendering (With Sony Vegas. May eventually learn After Effects. Count Photoshop in here if you'd like, but I'm not too worried about it even on the junk i've got it on now)
- General computing (thus the 3tb drive)
Notes:
- I intend to overclock it when I figure out how to and what exactly it is. The extent of my knowledge is: It takes away from the general lifespan of the parts in return for more performance, but they usually live longer than they are useful anyway, so no big deal.
- The cooling concerns me a tiny bit. The guy who helped me out assured me that the cooler was more than enough (should be for the price), but I still wonder a bit.
- Noise is a big concern (for recording and streaming, of course)
- The Hitachi Travelstar 1TB 2.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive is going in my Playstation 3, not my PC.
Any feedback at all is appreciated. Looking for:
Opinions of parts and the overall build
Ideas for changes either to impact price or performance. Would like a nice balance
Guesses at performance. I don't know if it can handle what I need it to do. I can't imagine I'll get 30 frames recording a supercharged Skyrim while using Fraps
And maybe anything about it fitting in the case or not.
Anything you think will be useful for me to know. Complete noob to this, learning as I research things.
