Hello TeamLiquid!

I have recently decided that it was time for me to look for a new pc as my current pc has had a lot of problems with frame rate drop issues and the pc wont restart or even sometimes turn on.

Its always been a big issue that i have not been able to stream on my last pc and i certainly want to be able to stream on my new pc so i want to get a cpu from intel.

i have a budget of £500 to spend on a new pc so i am trying to find the best possible deal that i can get for the budget that i have. So if anyone can help by giving me builds or suggestions of what to do, to get the best possible deal and gaming pc possible for the amount of money that i have then that would be greatly appreciated!

What games do you want to play? Money might be tight with that budget for streaming, but nominally doable if the only thing you want to stream are Blizzard game sand the like.

The games i play now is just basically Starcraft 2. I used to play cod4 back in the day and i dont mind jumping on other games from time to time just to do something different when im a little tired from practice or something. Im a little confused about the GTX 550 Ti, a lot of people have said its a great graphics card but then yesterday i got told that its terrible and wont be any good for starcraft 2

This is so far the best deal that i have currently found and i was wondering if anyone could give me any feedback on it, consider specs and budget. http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/Mass-Effect-i5-3450-94p1369.htm

According to this benchmark this card handles SC2 more than fine, so I wouldn't worry about that. The computer you linked to should be able to play pretty much every game out there, though I think you shouldn't expect brilliant 1080p performance for the more resource-hungry games out there. Three years warranty seems like a nice pick-me-up, too, unless that's usual in the UK.

I can't really comment on what is needed for streaming. Sorry about that

Hi guys ok the only other bit of help i now need is how good is the GTX 550 Ti? is it good enough to play sc2 on ultra settings with no lag? is it worth spending the extra 100+ pounds on a GTX 560? ty
