Hey Guys,I need a bit of help. I have been looking at this computer for a while now, and I need a bit of help from PC lovers!
Could you please tell me how much fps I would get when recording and not on Games like 'Minecraft' & 'CSGO'
It would really help! I have been told I would easily hit 60fps when recording on both but need a 2nd opinion!
PC SPECS:
CPU: i7 2600k (overclockable, and water cooled)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68X-UD7B3
Graphics: MSI Lightning 7970, the most powerful 7970 made (water cooled with custom EK water block). Original air cooler in box.
Ram: 8gb (2x4Gb)
SSD: 128gb Crucial M4
HDD: 500Gb
Case Silverstone TJ07
Water cooling Laing DDC pump, EK CPU block, EK GPU full card block, tube reservoir, 360mm ` radiator, black tubing.
Thanks :D

this is not linustechtips nor linustechtips.com whatanyway, change your CPU, it's REALLY outdated and old.
it'll bottleneck alot.

You don't really need an i7 unless you do video edits of that sort, so I would get a better i5 such as the i5 4690k. Plus ^Posted on 17 April 2015 - 11:53 AM
You don't need an i7 for gaming, plus its really outdated.If you wanna go intel w/ a cpu get the 4690 or the 4690k k = overclockable
If you go amd, i recommend the FX 8350, I have it and i love it
Motherboard: Intel Z97 AMD: Dont know much about amd mobos
Cooling: Go air cooling, if youre willing to spend x dollars on water cooling, go with a phanteks air cooler, theyll keep ya nice and chill. Water cooling is a pain IMO and it doesn't really serve a purpose, so many things can go wrong.
GPU : R9 290/R9 390. Wait till the end of thismonth/next for the 390. The 290 is newer than the 7970, and comes with more vram. The 390 will most likely be much better than the 290.
SSD: Fine
HDD: Get 1TB. I feel like this is a must.

I easily hit 60fps on my rig recording, and I built it 2 years ago with parts which are now 4 years old for 420£//$600I'd use a high end AMD over Intel, as it's cheaper (MoBos for amd come at £30-40 without issues), and probably a mid-high nvidea GPUs, as from experience AMD's lack power in places.
If you chose to go intel CPU (don't unless you have a real need)

This. i7s are complete overkills on any rig for this purpose, and you're better spending the money on a better GPU.
Minecraft and counterstrike aren't very resource hungry games, even maxing render setting and recording @60fps. Unless you want to start recording bf4 @ ultra @ 120fps, you don't need a hugely powerful rig.
I have default cooling in my rig, no water cooling and only one small case fan. I don't ever hit 40*C when I'm recording/maxing on either of these games (CS + MC).

SSDs is amust have for recording imo, and also if you want to be in the 3 second boot club :p
That GPU is not good to say the least.
USB 3 doesn't bother me
Sound card? Why
Just my thoughts.

Then build it. Saves yourself loads of $$$ and you chose the parts you want. It's a relatively simple process.
