1400€ PC Build Help! :)

RMXM
Level 7
Hello:)
I'm quite new to the forum and would like to ask this amazing community for a little help on building my first gaming/ editing and streaming PC.
I have seen so many RoG themed ones on Google and around here and they look awesome!

What I would need it for is Gaming, Streaming on twitch,
Photoshop and video editing. Intel and Nvidia preferably instead of AMD.
Thank you in advance for everyone that will reply 🙂

Budget: 1400€ (about 1600$)

Oh and i do not have no keyboard or monitor, nothing so it would be from 0 xD

Hello RogueNote

Is that 1400 euros? I'm not sure what that translates to in u.s. dollars but if you could give us a price range in u.s. dollars we could help you better.

Thank You !

Edit 1400 Euros = about 1600 u.s. dollars.

Wow! That looks amazing! Thanks a lot man it will really help me on looking for these, will i need a sound card also or that can be a later on upgrade? If you have suggestions for the rest as upgrades and such feel free to post i like ure picks 😄
I think there might still be chances for a monitor also if it does not exceed 250 dollars or so.

You don't need a sound card unless you must have top quality sound. You can just get a headset and use the jacks on the front of the cooler master case.

it's going to be tough to find a decent monitor for $250.00 u.s. dollars. When choosing a monitor size and screen resolution are important.

Did you want 1080p or 1440p or 1600p or 4k? There are a lot of choices when choosing a monitor. The higher the resolution the better the picture quality and the more expensive. Also the higher the resolution the more graphics horsepower you need to keep frame rates up. So if you want to max out your game settings higher than 1080p you will want to add another gtx 970. if you just go with a 1080p monitor a single gtx 970 will be enough and we might be able to find a 1080p monitor for $250.00. Think about it for a bit and decide what kind of monitor you want and let me know.

Well 1080p is enough for starters so yeah, something just a bit decent for my photo editing^^ Not too big like i dunno 23 inches or something like that.

Sounds great! Thanks a lot for all the help and very fast replies!
Also so i won't type this in a different post, would you recommend any headphones with a decent mic or should i wait for the strix ones to appear in shops? ( certainly this will be an upgrade as i'm not even sure if id still be in my budget anyways xD )

Here is an asus 28 inch 1080p monitor.

Here is the strix headset. I'm not knocking asus or this headset but you can find decent ones for half the price. I have not used these so I really can't comment on the sound quality but I'm sure they're good being that it's an ROG headset. If you want them and can afford them, then yes I will recommend them.
