Just finished my 6th build this weekend and like most of them I went for
proven hardware (4790k i7, mid level asus MB/geforce GPU, 16gb ram, ssd and 850w psu) so it's faster than what I need, stable, can render videos quickly etc and can run larger programs effortlessly without going so over the top price wise that the benefit isn't noticeable.
I dont play PC games (xbox one) but most people are still of the opinion that an i5 processor is totally fine for gaming and an i7 would be overkill (games right now do not use hyperthreading) and that the gpu is the more important part of a mainly gaming biased rig.
Whichever way you go, don't skimp on the PSU since whilst the more expensive ones may appear overpriced compared to companies offering a similar wattage for less, the more expensive ones can maintain their rating or very near it constantly whereas some of the cheaper brands claiming similar wattages are more of a "peak power" indicator and to me, that just spells unstable.
What youtube videos do you do - lets Plays or trolling ?
