record and streaming needs at least good cpu and gpu lei...800 what sort of mind control u did to him

800 with game, stream and record? Hahaha. No way that specs can take it. Need to up your budget man. Cpu need i5 the very least. Gpu can forcefully use but need lowering the graphics for sure.

Ok He can increase budget but with one condition from his parents:
Must be Rank 10 in Class in the upcoming Sec 2 CT2.

1.2k possible? He is gonna re use HP 21 inch monitor and some cheap $10 KB and $30 Armageddon Keyboard

Btw need wifi

His current pc is some Pentium with 2gb of ddr2 ram and 500gb storage no gpu

What is parents told him: If he doesnt meet up his promise they will look up the PC in store-room. He is gonna get PC in 2 weeks time. Because he got 14th Position in class so his parents gave him a budget of 800. I told him to say "If u give me budget of 1.2k for a pc i will be motivated and promise to get 10th Position." It worked!

remind me when i was young.haha

Change the cpu la. The g4400 is a joke man... the rest seems OK but I would go for the 1060 at least. The 1050 is very poorly pricedm

First time crafting this so forgive moi if its not the best deal out there

Few things u can note is if you prefer to get ssd downgrade the i7 to i5 6500. The money saved use it to get ssd and upgrade the psu to superflower leadex silver 550w.

i5 haswell i5-4460 + h81 mobo = $320 (tradepac)

Good enough for gaming, streaming game recording game. Overkill for cs:go, dota 2 etc.
Can check youtube benchmark for i5 4460 + 1060 3gb mini combo should be able to achieve good frame rates at 1080p gaming for graphics demanding games like GTA V etc.

Just to be shure, The TecF3 can fit Msi H110 Ac right? Because Msi mobo is itx and the case is Micro Atx, They can fit?

 

[GreenBandit]

it's still a 80+. and beside that it's definitely safe.

So will it be able to last for 3 years+?

 

[ZrE0_Cha0s]
