But, again if he did the APU now and get good performance, he can buy a 11xx Nvidia later and shite on the 580. This build is in the 400s

I knocked off the cooler since it wont be necessary and found a cheaper case with good reviews.

$40-50 for a mouse, or even cheaper if he gets a lower end mouse, keyboards can be had for a few dollars, and a good 60hz monitor can be had for $100 (or use his TV as a temporary solution until he can afford a 144hz monitor).

Peripherals can come with time since they are far less vital and cheaper than components of the PC. Hell, you can get nice mechanical keyboards for like $30 on sale.

The monitor will be the most expensive f

But he also wants to stream. That APU would be shite for streaming most likely

We have no idea what the cost or performance of those cards will be

An 1160 couldn't be more than 350 though. That would most likely give the performance of a 1070 or 1070ti.

We debating on something that Finch ain't even giving us anymore info on. Haha

He could be like "I already have all the peripherals and don't want to do more than 60fps."

I just want the ability to stream and play games without there being any hiccups.

I guess my only requirement would be is to have a 1080p resolution.

Give us absolute total cost with everything (PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, software).

Do you want to wait for any new tech?

What is your desired fps in say something like fortnite or any other game? Now and eventually.

What games do you want to play?

You could run keyboard and mouse on the PS4 on fortnite and stream it to the PC.

In all honesty, streaming in 720 isnt terrible. Some people have issues with buffering 1080p streams and knock it down anyway. My fiber internet took a dump on me for a couple weeks and I went back to 720 with little negative feedback

Yep. I don't notice it that much when someone is in 720 or 1080 on my phone. It's still quite good on larger monitors too.

I could probably do $1000 for everything.

Yea, when I load my clips on my phone to screen cap for Insta, I load them up in 720 so they don't skip or anything during the screen cap. No sense in loading up 1080p on the phone IMO

The pixel density is so high it doesnt matter.

On my monitor at home, I can easily tell the difference between 720p and 1080p, but only when in full screen or theater

Solid. That would be my suggestion. Also get a 144hz and g502 or deathadder elite. Keyboard can be cheaper.

I would get faster RAM as ryzen benefits more than Intel with the speed.

Think I saw some 3200 CAS 16 aegis for 160

I would also get a GPU with a transferable warranty. EVGA honors the warranty to the product not the buyer.
