As a gaming streamer, I often get asked, “what is your PC build”. I assume it is by agents looking for vulnerabilities in my system but alas here I reveal to you, my personal gaming PC build. Don’t hack me, bro.
I built this myself as I do with all of my computers. I buy the parts on Amazon usually as they are cheaper than my local Best Buy and get here next day almost always.
Streaming Equipment.
Newest addition, TurtleBeach Flight Stick HOTAS Stick
Microphone Audio-Technica AT2035
I tested the FIFINE K688 and the Logitech Blue Yeti which were both pretty bad compared to the Audio-Technica AT2035 Cardioid Condenser Microphone.
Do not forget the XLR Cable because it doe snot come with one.
Oh, and a stand. Yes I had to buy all that just for the audio setup.
I also got this MaonoCaster E2 Gen2 sound board for controlling it.
My CPU Intel i5-13600K 14 5.1 GHz
I have the Intel i5-13600K so you may already see the problem there. I would not recommend this processor or really intel ever again after the 13th Gen fiasco.
Additional details: 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and 20 threads 24M Cache
CPU Cooler Noctua NH-U12S Redux
Yup, just a nice quiet fan. I did liquid cooled before and it didn’t make a difference but it did cost me more and provide a lot more noise.
Mobo Gigabyte B760M Aorus Elite AX
Not a fan of this one because of the major problems Intel 13th Gens had and the ability to under volt being removed but after lots of tweeking and trial and error I got my disadvantaged i5 working good.
My GPU MSI – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GAMING 8GB DDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card – Black
I am happy with this thing but there was very limited choice at the time and the 12GB came out like a month later so screw you NVIDIA.
RAM 64GB DDR5 6400MHz CL32-40-40-84
While I originally started off with 32GB I bought a subscription to the new online Photoshop for specific purposes and it destroyed my computer performance. I do not recommend it to anyone and suggest you stick with older offline versions such as CS5. Even upgraded to 64GB of RAM that application runs like trash.
SSD WD_BLACK 2TB SN7100 NVMe
Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive – Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,250 MB/s – WDS200T4X0E [New Version]
This is just my primary drive I do have like 4 other drives in my tower for various non gaming reasons.
PSU Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 80+ Gold 600W
PS-TPD-0600NNFAGU-2
Modular with a 5 year warranty. In the past I went with a more high end EVGA and it crapped out on me anyways.
Case Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L
MCB-Q300L-KANN-S00
Yes, a cheap small case is all I need. I do not like large towers. I have used this case for a few builds.
Monitor ASUS TUF Gaming 24”
While I do have multiple monitors, this is the one I game on.
I do not like larger monitors as it is more real estate I have to try and look at.
Mouse Redragon M908 Impact
I tried many mice and this one is cheap and fits my big hands.
