Trying to split current setup into two distinct builds. Gaming PC and streaming/blue iris PC
Post Body

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

  • On the gaming rig I play titles like Destiny 2, PUBG, Ghost Recon Wildlands

  • On the streaming/blue iris computer I will be running Plex and Blue Iris mainly

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

  • Looking to be around $500 plus or minus

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • In the coming weeks

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • Will need everything that is inside the tower to include a tower. Do not worry about the OS in the budget

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

  • Kansas, USA and I do have access to MicroCenter

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

Current setup - Anything from here can be split to the streaming PC if it would be more beneficial to upgrade something in the gaming PC

  • Processor: Intel Core i5-7500 LGA1151

  • Graphics: MSI Radeon RX480 8GB GDDR5

  • Mobo: ASUS Prime B250m-Plus

  • Memory: AEGIS Gaming DDR4 8GB (x2)

  • Storage: Crucial 275 GB SSD

  • Storage: WD Blue 3 TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache

  • Storage: WD Black 1 TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

  • Not really my territory so advice is welcomed and always appreciated

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

  • The streaming PC will require a lot of storage. Most of which is already in the gaming PC. The 3 tb has my media on it and that will go to the streaming PC. The 1 tb is currently used for Blue Iris storage but I think I should leave that in the gaming PC and get WD Purples for the Blue Iris storage?

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

  • Gaming PC currently has a black/red theme going on. So if parts are getting upgraded for that then I would like that theme to be continued but not necessary.

  • The streaming PC is no preference.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

  • I will deal with this when I visit MicroCenter. Do not use in budget price

Extra info or particulars:

Just to summarize again. I currently have the gaming PC set up as mentioned above. It currently serves up all my media for plex as well as monitors 7 cameras that always record through Blue Iris. This takes a toll when I am playing video games. My current Processor is usually maxed out while playing Destiny 2 with Blue Iris and plex running in the background.
