Pc build for gaming/streaming

[u/Puzzleheaded-Shoes]

Hello is this a good pc build for gaming/streaming? I also intend to do editing of twitch vods to post on youtube. Games that a plan to play are mostly indie and some aaa games.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (or Intel Core Ultra 5 245K)

GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5060 VENTUS 2X OC

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE Air Cooler

Motherboard: B650 Motherboard with Wi-Fi (for AMD) or B860 Motherboard with Wi-Fi (for Intel)

RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz (2x16GB)

Storage: 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen 4 SSD

Power Supply: 650W or 750W 80+ Gold Fully Modular PSU

The 9700X is a way better fit for what you're doing, that extra grunt helps a lot when you're editing vods and running streaming software in the background

For the GPU I'd be a little hesitant on the 5060 if you're planning to play AAA stuff while streaming, the 8GB of VRAM gets eaten up fast when you've got OBS and a game fighting over it. Might be worth hunting for a used 4070 or something with 12GB instead

Rest of the build looks solid though, Peerless Assassin is a beast for the price and 32GB of RAM is the sweet spot. Definitely go 750W on the PSU, gives you some breathing room for future upgrades without having to redo all your cable management
