Codshooter Is A Boss. Internet Speed is 10 down 2 up

You might want to upgrade your upload, i streamed with 4 up and it wasn't the greatest.

Then you weren't streaming with proper settings.

....

You guys are saying I should be able to stream. here is my current build. I can play on a server at low settings 45 fps but streaming it drops to 15 fps. Internet Speed is 10 down 2 up. Is their any upgrades I could get?

Codshooter Is A BossHello, I am looking to build a minecraft streaming build! I want to be able to stream on a server will getting good fps. My budget is $500.


What is this computer going to be used for?
Light Gaming nothing like battlefield only games like minecraft, goat simulator.

List what you will be doing with your computer.
Gaming, Streaming

What is your budget?
Include amount and currency.
$500

Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
Your country lets us know what sites you can order from. If you have a nearby Microcenter they have some great in-store only deals that you can take advantage of.
Cincinnati, Ohio. And yes I live near one.

What is included in the budget?
Things like the tower, the OS, peripherals and monitors.
Only the computer and case.

Will you be overclocking?
Overclocking will require different hardware than a non-overclocking build so we need to know this.
No

Will you be reusing any parts?
If you are reusing parts list them here.
CD Writer.

What OS do you want?
Say which OS you want or say if you already have a copy of one.
I already have one.

Any specific case preferences?
Size, color, etc.
No

Any other special features that you want in the build?
Stuff like an SSD, large hard drive, RAID, and wifi
No

How fast is your interenet. Go to Speedtest.com to find out.

This build uses an APU (in fact, the best APU currently out there). It's way under-budget and will do what you need it to do very well. My dad uses a 7850K in his HTPC/gaming computer with 1600 MHz RAM and gets about 100 FPS in Minecraft on max settings at 1080p, so the 2400 MHz RAM in this build will push your performance even further.

In addition to this, you will have some money left over to start a fund to get a really nice dedicated GPU later on (if you eventually want to play some more demanding games).

As much as I love Steam, that PC is worse than Home Alone 3.

Here is an alternative to 53's build. Stronger GPU and weaker CPU. Also, better and cheaper PSU. This will be better if you don't want to upgrade the GPU soon.

53MP3RF1Because Microcenter is amazing, I was able to pack in a pretty powerful i5 into the build. It's a little unbalanced as of now, but the 260x is still a very nice card for the price and will do what you're looking for it to do. I would recommend upgrading the graphics card once AMD's new 300 series cards come out in the Spring, as nVidia will have to lower prices on their 970 and 980 cards, as well as the fact you'll have a bunch of new graphics cards to choose from.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the CPU you posted in there is more expensive and slower than the CPU I posted. OP lives near a Microcenter, which means they can buy the 4590 for $10 less and get a little better performance out of it. The 4440 also can run on h81-chipset boards, which means you can lower the price a little bit (I think the cheapest h81 board is only $27 right now, but it doesn't have USB 3.0 so that sort of stinks). Also, it's not a good idea to put those combinations of parts on a 430w PSU. I'd recommend a minimum of 500w for most single CPU and single GPU combos. The 430w PSU also would require some crazy little fiddling as it's lacking a couple of slots necessary for powering a GPU. It's still possible to do it, you'd just have to go through a bunch of adapters. Your RAM is a little overpriced as well - try using the Parametric filter on PCPP, as it will automatically select the cheapest RAM out of a certain criteria. It also keeps the build up-to-date a little better. The rest looks pretty good

Anyways, OP, good luck with your build!

Awesome, thanks for the feedback/advice!

You dont need an i5 for light gaming and streaming. So I took that out put in an i3 and put in an SSD wich will help you.

The two most important things in a gaming PC are:

-Memory (if you use downloadable games)
-Graphics Card (At least, don't get a crappy one. I have a 2002 laptop that can't even
support mine craft

Streaming can be done on pretty much any computer, just be sure to have a Wifi Card if you don't want to use ethernet.

Honestly streaming does not take up much performance. You just need god internet to stream really.

ok, bump

Assuming you have an extra $40 to spare. Should be pretty good, though. If you can up it to around $570 you can get a 280X, or up to around $620 you can get a 290. I don't think you'll be able to get a 970 though, unless you get either a really weak CPU or an AMD combo. But the gaming you're doing isn't too heavy, right?

Before you consider getting this though, wait for someone with a bit more experience to "check it over".. eg., Theshadbusher, Killertoad, Randomness, etc.,

http://youtu.be/5n5dolXyyg0 Id build this one it seems pretty reliable

I'm not thinking right. I would listen to someone else.
