I'm looking to build a gaming pc that will be cable of running games on high/ultra.Also the computer will be used for recording youtube videos and possibly later on livestreaming.I tend to make music and animations so I guess take that into consideration too.
First of all I just need to make something clear before someone redirects me to some really high end stuff.I really just need a max of 60 fps since thats how many frames most monitors support and I won’t be able to see the difference between 60fps and 120fps.I also will have a budget of less than 1000 euros.Ideally the budget should be even smaller like 500-700 but I can always stretch it.I'm pretty sure you can get some decent parts with a budget of 700.Note, euros.
Oh and one of the most important aspect I'm taking into consideration is the motherboard. I'm looking for something that I will still be able to upgrade and something that can be safe proofed for a few years so that my motherboard will be able to support the latest generations/production lines of processors/GPUs.I'm also looking for a couple of PSE slots (or whatever they are called) so that I can have a dedicated graphic card (maybe 2 later on), a sound card (I tend to create music on my computer).Not sure how many ram slots.Would be nice if it also had wifi built-in but not necessary.Doesn't require to have a kazillion of usb slots and I don’t really need usb 3.0.
I'm most likely going for Ram DRRM 3 (or whatever its called) but might stick to DRRM 2 and upgrade later(motherboards come with both slot types right?).I'm looking for at least 8gb of ram probably.As far as I know its usually quantity over quality as long as its a trusted brand for ram.
For the processor I'm aiming at a two core/quad core one most likely from ATI/AMD since they tend to be a bit cheaper then Intel while still worthy.Once again I'm into producing music and I will be using the computer for youtube videos so there will be video editing too later on.
For the GPU I'm once again probably going to go for ATI/AMD...Maybe Nvidia but once again im not sure.I'm probably looking for a graphic card from 500mb-1gb but I'm not sure.No need for those fancy 3D supported graphic cards since I dont even have a 3D monitor.
I'm probably looking for something from 500gb-1tb for storage.Probably SATAII.
Once again I am just a bit of a computer enthusiastic and don't know that much.Definitely don't know much about the prices but I'm going for a budget from 500 to a maximum of 1000 (note its a maximum, I'd prefer something in the 700s or even the 800s)
I live in Ireland so I'll be only buying parts here or from UK if necessary unless the shipping is cheap or free.
I'm also looking for a monitor but thats later on since I have some old piece of ..... that I will be able to play around with.Right now I'm using a laptop and so I'm pretty limited to gaming not mentioning recording.I'll probably sell it since I dont even use it outside of home and so the computer will just replace it.
Also note this is just a base and I will be probably be upgrading it with time so that why I’m really focused on the motherboard and its compatibility etc.
So I’m looking for recommendations,tips and so on.Thanks for taking your time of reading through that block of text. |

Oh god there's so much to correct here and that's without even suggesting parts...
For the motherboard, good luck getting one that will be supported for more than 2 generations before the pin layout is replaced. 'PSE slots' are PCIe slots You will not need a sound card, all motherboards have integrated sound logic these days that is more than suitable for your needs. USB 3.0 is standard now on modern motherboards RAM is actually DDR not DRRM, and no motherboards only have one type of slot, and anything modern is DDR3 only. I would recommend an intel CPU, they perform quite a bit better for the sound and video editing requirements you have given, particularly the i7's with hyper-threading. 3D graphics card means it can render a 3D scene, not can do 3D output to your monitor. I would recommend an nvidia GTX 600 series GPU or later, they have dedicated video blocks that make them really good for livestreaming and video recording with supporting programs.

I will probably have a tower case.Medium sized probably, possibly ranging to large. I might have water cooling but I will probably stick to fans. |

Any dual core or quad core AMD processor is going to be slow in games, nevermind playing them while you record which taxes the CPU even more.
Also, 512MB of VRAM is going to chug and really only entry level to lower-mid tier GPUs come equipped with 1GB of VRAM.
You are going to get better value if you get a 1TB over a 500GB or lesser. I rarely use any space on HDDs too but $10 or so isnt going to hurt when you double the capacity.
For a monitor, I would get something with 1080p (1920x1080) and IPS. |

How does this work. If you needed a monitor - Whoops. Forgot. |
