You people love 8GB don't you?

Anyways, your monitor didn't have an HDMI so I changed that. I also changed the processor and the ram.

Everything seems fine, except you're using a second gen cpu. Why? Get a third gen.

It's the Intel build. (Cuz you like Intel eh?) I included a capture card too.


What is the capture card exactly used for? I thought I could just use my recording program to record gameplay.

Only necessary for consoles (lol).

What a capture card does is show you playing on a console on your PC monitor, with the ability to record video of you gaming. You can then edit it with Movie Maker (free on pcs with windows xp or vista) or iMovie (free new macs).

I'd recommend to use an HDMI Port with the computer. Your Graphics card has one. Don't know about the monitor.

Oh. And it provides 0 lag when recording.

The 8350 is a better cpu for 25$ less. You don't really need the 670 you choose. You could get a 7970 for 50$ less.

Well, I've seen benchmarks, and the i5 seems to do better than the 8350..that's just according to the benchmarks, though.

Which benchmarks?The 3570k beats it in a few games but in most the 3570k is killed by the 8350. Sky already posted this on the first page.

Also, cpubenchmark scores the 8350 at 9142 and the 3570k at 7126, that's 2,000+ points better.

I see that you didn't see the full title of the video.

It says benchmarks when you are recording/live streaming, not actually playing the game.

My recommendation:

8 gigs RAM

i5 3470

Dual hard drives (one for recording), toss out SSD

Everything else is fine.

tl;dr

8 GB RAM is fine

NVIDIA isn't necessarily superior

but Intel processors are still on top

Have a nice day.

Take out the 16 GB, only keep 8

Throw out the SSD for another hard drive, use the second HDD for all of your recordings

Liquid cooling isn't really necessary

Throw out the FX 8350 and get an i5 3470, much better performance (personal experience, and the price isn't that much more)

Everything else is pretty much great.[/quote]

Well, heres what I decided on!
