First ever custom build, looking to use for the next 3+ years

[river zodiac]

Looking at a 25-30 budget, would like feedback.

Will be used for a variety of tasks including games (and streaming concurrently), VMs, video editing

Do you really need a tiny optane drive

And a 1000w PSU is pretty overkill

[river zodiac]

is optane on a 8gb hdd worth?

and idk what psu is enough so I went safe

[hazy shadow]

I assume the hard drive is just for storing old videos or something?

[river zodiac]

some of it yeah

8gb is probably way too much but idk

[hazy shadow]

I mean, if you want to keep all your streams at good quality that's going to take quite a lot of space

Although at that point you'd be better off with a dedicated NAS

[river zodiac]

not sure how a nas will work bc college but will consider it

Well this should work well for around 2.6k
You can add another SSD for recording/working off if you're paranoid about drive wear
I suppose you could also upgrade to a 4090

[river zodiac]

alright, thank you!

[hazy shadow]

You could also consider going itx if it's going in a dorm, though

@river zodiac

The 13700k is only incrementally better then a 13600k- rather disappointing

[hazy shadow]

Not for their workload

In premiere

[river zodiac]

the 2 more cores will help so that's why I chose 13700k

[hazy shadow]

Or resolve
