Right now I have an Alienware Aurora R3 I got for a really good deal. I have an i5-2500k overlocked to 4.3 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , I have 16gb of RAM, Sapphire Radeaon 7950, all with the generic Alienware Motherboard. I am looking to stream CoD of my Xb1 in 1080p 60fps which my PC right now just cant handle. It can barely run 720p 30 fps. In reality it only comes down to the CPU which I intend to upgrade but I am not sure how compatible the Dell motherboard is to other intel CPU's. So right now I am thinking to buy new CPU, Motherboard, and Case to move everything into. Are there any Case/CPU/Motherboard combos that you'd recommend? Im thinking around an i7-4770k CPUwise.

Thanks!!

If you read the comments you would know his budget is 500usd.

Considering he overclocked his current pc im sure overclocking this wont be a problem.

He has a 7950 so an upgrade is not really necessary, especially considering he only wants to stream.

If you want to spend less you can get a intel xeon.

You may want to upgrade the psu if you have a low quality one.

Also buy a ssd if you do not already have one.

First of all that motherboard is not compatible.

second of all just because he overclocked before doesn't mean he wants to now and whats he gonna use for the Cooler? an electric plug in the wall fan and strap it to the case?

Since when was the cpu not compatible? I have not read anywhere about this. There was £70 left over which could get you a good air cooler.
