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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Streaming Equipment. I also got this MaonoCaster E2 Gen2<\/a> sound board for controlling it.<\/p>\n My CPU Intel i5-13600K 14 5.1 GHz<\/a> CPU Cooler Noctua NH-U12S Redux<\/a> Mobo Gigabyte B760M Aorus Elite AX<\/a> My GPU MSI – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GAMING 8GB DDR6X<\/a> PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card – Black RAM 64GB DDR5 6400MHz CL32-40-40-84<\/a> SSD WD_BLACK 2TB SN7100 NVMe<\/a> PSU Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 80+ Gold 600W<\/a> Case Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L<\/a>
\nNewest addition, TurtleBeach Flight Stick HOTAS Stick<\/a>
\nMicrophone Audio-Technica AT2035<\/a>
\nI tested the FIFINE K688<\/a> and the Logitech Blue Yeti<\/a> which were both pretty bad compared to the Audio-Technica AT2035 Cardioid Condenser Microphone.
\nDo not forget the XLR Cable<\/a> because it doe snot come with one.
\nOh, and a stand<\/a>. Yes I had to buy all that just for the audio setup.<\/p>\n
\nI 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.
\nAdditional details: 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and 20 threads 24M Cache<\/p>\n
\nYup, 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.<\/p>\n
\nNot 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.<\/p>\n
\nI 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.<\/p>\n
\nWhile 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.<\/p>\n
\nInternal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive – Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,250 MB\/s – WDS200T4X0E [New Version]
\nThis is just my primary drive I do have like 4 other drives in my tower for various non gaming reasons.<\/p>\n
\nPS-TPD-0600NNFAGU-2
\nModular with a 5 year warranty. In the past I went with a more high end EVGA and it crapped out on me anyways.<\/p>\n
\nMCB-Q300L-KANN-S00
\nYes, a cheap small case is all I need. I do not like large towers. I have used this case for a few builds.<\/p>\n
