Helping a friend build a pc for playing ow and potential streaming/content creation. What do you guys think? I havent done this stuff in a while.

 

[Peter Gomez]

I know some of yall might suggest 16 gigs but im tryna save him as much money as possible plus we are canadian so slight mark ups

 

[Jodi Szowcsuk]

i9

 

[Mark Walls]

Use two 4gbs for your ram. Using only 1 stick of ram will slow your speeds

 

[Mark Walls]

Also that 1070 is waaaaay upcharged

 

[Mark Walls]

Is this Canadian pricing?

 

[David Taylor]

Probably better off with the new i5 rather than the old i7

 

[Mark Walls]

To save price you could just go with a 120gb ssd. I have my os and most of my applications like geforce on mine.

 

[Alex Smith]

tbh if you want a streamer/gaming pc get the ryzen 7 it has more cores

 

[Brian VanSickle Jr.]

....how about just wait 5-7 days for black friday/cyber Monday? You will save a lot of money then and might be able to get better parts or that extra ram with the savings

 

[Robert Frisby]

Everybody thinks they're a god damn content creator... you can drop down from this save some money and they'll never know the difference.

 

[Robert Frisby]

God damn it, peter....

 

[Matt Ramsden]

i'd drop to a cheaper CPU and use that cash for another 8gb.

 

[Cas Harrison]

get a Noctua cooler and maybe get an i5 and get 16gb of ram you'll need it lol

Pro tips
Get a gigabyte motherboard over MSI

Also you can get Windows 10 Pro for 45 USD on r/microsoftsoftwareswap

 

[Ngô Quang Đại]

That too much for ow . I think

 

[Brian VanSickle Jr.]

I would go with the Ryzen processor. Saves money, uses less electricity, almost just as fast as Intel, for half as much money. Ryzen processors are taking the PC world by storm

 

[Lance Hotchkiss]

go for the 1070ti, its $40 more and at least 40% more powerful

 

[Peter Gomez]

ty for the advice. gonna look into the new i5

 

[Rohan Thorat]

If u wanna save u can get i5 7600k an oc it
