What do you think about the 2 builds?
Price may seem excessive, but remember there is an Elgato - Headset etc on there.

Only difference i can see is the AMD CPU's - Hopefully there won't be too much of a difference between the 2.

You don't need to flag it up, we will see there are posts for approval and check them, it can just take a bit of time due to being volunteer moderators and only getting to check the moderation queue periodically.

We can't see the prices to comment

Case
PCS 6003B BLACK CASE

You don't want the cheapest case.

You may want to check this article: https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwrevie...-benchmarks-game-streaming-vr-premiere/page-4

The R7 1800x (or the 1900x, as they're the same) are both huge upgrades over your current CPU and will perform vastly better. But for streaming to twitch and youtube simultaneously an i9 is worth considering.

 

[ruscro]

Will my current 1050ti not get bottlenecked by the 1800x?
Should i purchase a second 1050ti (if it works better) or upgrade my graphics card?

 

[Oussebon]

A 1050 ti is a weak card for a £2000 gaming system

You cannot run GTX 1050 tis in SLI, so no point to buying a second one

 

[ruscro]

Might have a look at a 1060 then, or a 1070.

Getting my specs online, and they think a 1050 will be bottlenecked.

One of these 2 perhaps? which one?

 

[Oussebon]

I don't think anyone thinks a 1050 ti will be bottlenecked by a Ryzen R7. The 1050 ti will be the bottleneck - although to some degree the GPU always should be.

I might suggest having a fresh start with your budget, uses, and spec. The thread of conversation has become pretty confused. If you really are serious about streaming to twitch and youtube simultaneously you should consider the i9 build - as per the article linked above.

[Oussebon]

Both are somewhat overkill for 1080p gaming, especially for relatively undemanding titles like the ones you listed earlier.

At current PCS prices though the GTX 1070 is only £50 less than the 1080, with the 1070 ti sitting between the two. So out of the 1070, 1070 ti, and 1080, the 1080 seems the best value.
