#10 Questions on first build in Hardware

Thanks for the help so far! And #8 thank you, I had no idea about /r/softwareswap... That will save me a lot of money!

Here is my updated build, minus a motherboard:

I removed an optical drive, since I actually have one now that I think about it.

And I am mostly stuck right now on a motherboard. I have no knowledge of what I should get/what I need. I will continue to do my own research, but if someone could point me in the direction of a good motherboard for the price then that would be greatly appreciated!

#6 Questions on first build in Hardware
VortexI built a computer a month ago with a i5-3570k and gtx 660 and I pretty much get my capped 300fps at all times playing tf2. My stream settings are pretty low settings, but I don't think my fps drops below 250 while streaming.

Since your build is marginally better than mine, it should be more than enough to stream tf2 well.

EDIT: rechecking through your build, you need a different psu. 500w is pretty low, i'm pretty sure it doesn't even fit the minimum requirements for a gtx 770. look into getting a 700w at least. your mobo also seems cheap-ish and the reviews for it look iffy. if you're looking to save money, think of what games you're going to play - because if it's mostly just tf2 then a gtx 770 is way overkill

Yeah I kind of figured this build was a bit overkill for tf2. So if playing tf2 and streaming comfortably are my main concerns, how much cheaper should I go? I will probably drop to a 660 like you have then, and maybe upgrade to a 600 watt psu if I still need it.
And I will try to look at different motherboards.
Feel free to edit my parts list... I definitely wouldn't mind going a lot cheaper if I can still stream tf2 without any problems

#1 Questions on first build in Hardware

I'm going to start by saying that I do not know a whole lot when it comes to building a computer, which could be inferred since this is my first build. I created this list based off of a few others' and made a few tweaks.

First off, does anybody see any problems with this build that I may not be aware of?
and if not... what should I expect my fps in tf2 to reach with this build, and would I have any problems streaming?

Thanks!

#784 Do you like the song above? in Music, Movies, TV

I didn't think I was going to like it at first, but I ended up liking the beat and the guy's voice actually sounded pretty good.

(Not my normal genre, but I've been obsessed with this song for some reason)

If you can get windows any cheaper or a free OS (Linux, SteamOS, whatever you want) you can get a 120Hz monitor.
60 fps on Ultra are pretty much guaranteed. 120fps average (will be below 120 sometimes) in Bioshock Infinite (1080p, high) might possible if you overclock the 280. If you want any more than that you'd probably have to delay the 120Hz monitor like you orginally planned, to get a better GPU.

You can also drop the CPU down to a 4570 to get closer/stay under 1k.

That's nice honey.

What should I expect my fps to be in TF2 if I decide to go with this build? (probably minus the 144hz monitor)
And streaming shouldn't cause my fps to really drop with this build, should it?
I won't be able to buy anything til the end of the month but I just wanted to have an idea of a good build so I can order it as soon as I have the money.

I fully understand that you may be wanting to play different maps (gravelpit, edifice) to change it up, but I recommend using the same maps that ESEA is using this season because a lot of teams that are also playing in ESEA will want to practice the same maps/might have a hard time finding scrims for those maps since most other teams are practicing for ESEA. Just a suggestion

EDIT: Just realized that edifice is only played in preseason so it shouldn't really be a problem. You may want to replace Gpit with Coalplant but it is not big deal
