    New rig for gaming, recording/streaming and editing.

    So I've been planning a new rig build for the past couple days and just wanted some final opinions on my component choice.

    I'm looking to play the games at ultra settings, while record or stream at 1080p.
    Any feedback is appreciated!

    Build specs:

    Agreed with Fendle, seeing as your budget is somewhat high, may as well spend another $100 getting a 250gb SSD

    The processor you have selected is probably huge overkill for anything you would be doing. I would suggest going for the i53570k unless money is not an issue for you. Other than that you look to have a nice rig =D. Also, as far as the SSD goes, 120 gigs would be fine if you are only going to be loading games on it. The main gaming performance difference between a hardrive and a SSD is that SSD will give you slightly faster load times.

    I would also go ahead and get another hard drive to store recordings too. You have to remember that write/read is limited in speed and playing a game (im assuming it will be stored on the 1tb for the most part) while also recording and writing that footage to the drive simultaneously could have an impact on the FPS you get.

    Other than that looks good.
