New Computer Build - For Streaming

I have nothing but love for the 10 series cards, they are fuckin monsters. I wanted a 1070 but my old 470 finally died so I got a 1060, it devours 1080p gaming while running incredibly cool. Also, overclocking wont help your situation, and delidding is risky. Id just run stock myself. The gain will be ~5-10% at best, even on water. And thats on benchmarks, itll be much less noticeable in real world situations.

Cpu tech has massively stagnated, the best thing is situational.
HAIL SATAN!

Maybe I'll just air cool it then, I've never water cooled so I wanted to try out the tech because ehh it doesnt hurt and it's not too much more expensive.. would just be cool !
Yea I dropped my 480 fast once I saw how good the 1070s and 1080s run
anything is everything

I don't know how much I am allowed to self bump a thread, but I made a Hex-core version of this with a compatible motherboard.

I wanna see some input or some builds you all can make for comparable prices! Come on, don't be shy. I'm holding out and doing research so I can make a computer I will have no regrets on purchasing!

Last bump for a while.

I think I'm going to wait for Ryzen processors to come out and reassess my situation.

Maybe one of the Ryzen processors will work awesomely for me, maybe Intel processors will see a price drop to compete!

And, I'll get another paycheck or two by then and definitely be able to splurge on the build ;)
