$1000 budget

 

Do you need the i7? Over an i5 2500k or 3570k you will see maybe 3 fps difference. If you went with the i5 it would save ~$100. Also, 8 gigs of ram is enough, you obviously can get 16 if you want it, but it you want to save $50, go with 8.
I would go with an ssd for you, you can pick up a 120 gig one for ~$110.
If you went with the i5 and 8 gigs of ram, im just going to guess at what you have left for a gpu, seeing as i am on my phone and cant price everything out i would say $300. At that price you could get a radeon 7870.

 

Ok, basically i need the best possible, fastest, for gaming and quality.

I live stream alot and it has to be able to power that + high graphics at all times.

 

In that case, you may wish to consider the i7 then. As for the GPU, at least the 560ti is decent, but if you want something really nice then have a look at something out of the 600 series, something like the 680 or 670.

 

I was buying the i7 without a doubt, does the 680 honestly make that big of a difference?

 

Compared to the 6870 you were suggested? YES. It kills it lol

 

If I upgrade to the 680 will I have to change anything to power it?

 

Nope, just as long as you're not planning on SLI. The single 580 should be enough for you though. Nice build.

There's so many different ones, which to choose from?

 

Are you trying to fit an i7 and a 680 in a 1000 dollar budget?

Edit: Oh whoops, read it wrong, 1000 budget gpu wise.

 

$1000 includes everything but the graphics card.

 

They're all pretty good card, I just picked one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130771.

 

Again, if i pump up to something such as the 680 i don't need anything to special to power it, correct?

 

In regards to the PSU, 750W should be enough although I would get an 800W if it was my PC. In terms of brand I would go for Corsair, but if you like and trust the brand you picked, then that's fine. If you don't plan on going SLI, then 750-800w should be fine.

800W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139025

If the 800W is so much better, why is it cheaper?

 

750W PSU is modular, which means if you're not using a cord you can tuck it back into the PSU for better cord management, whilst the 800W isn't. The 750W is more efficient, has more SATA connectors in case you need them, and on top of all that it has better reviews. I would go with the 750W personally.

 

Lol, I haven't built hundreds, but I have built a few

 

Shh! I'm trying to help you kick-start a computer building business!

@Champion, I'll probably just go with the 750W if it will still do what I need and it has no major difference over the 800W.

 

Lol only problem with that is there's not enough people on sythe near enough to me to have me assemble their systems for them

 

Just have them ship the parts to your house!

Dumb question but all the wires comes with everything right? I'm not going to have to buy extra wires for anything, am I?
