So, I guess it's the best gaming config what one can get for 350-370$.
 
I guess.. but at that performance point, i wouldn't want to pc game because it wouldnt look any better than a console in the first place.

Yes, but it would be a PC with all it's benefits. It would be slower than PS4 and XboxOne, but it will allow to play specific games witch are absent on the console like : LoL, Dota 2, Eve Online, WoW, Starcraft 2 and lots of other. I'm not mentioning about cross platforms like BF4, WoT, CoD witch are much more fun to play on keyboard and mouse then on game pad. Objectively. FPS, Strategy and MMORPG it's PC homeland.
 
Not sure that rig is MMO capable seeing as how most are heavily CPU dependent and you are not using a discrete GPU... Id look to see how that APU does in those types of games before I push this build for that use. :)

Well, right. It worth to be analyzed before publishing.

What else I have on my mind is gaming Intel Rig which will be faster or equivalent to my Rig for 800$
FX 8350 + R9 290

People ask me to make video about Intel and Nvidia for money around 800-900$.
As for GPU it's GTX 970 definitely but CPU I don't know.
Technicaly Core i5 faster in games than 8350 but what about streaming and genaral work loads like rendering, video-editing, etc

Well. Then just 2x290.
And I can add them as option. It will be optional.

Main drawback is consumption of power.

With 2x290. We've got 756W of power consumption and this will force us to choose 900-1000w PSU.

Price didn't changed actually. Price is very good for Corsair 1000W.

I think the fact that you want to put a dual channel memory kit on an X99 board speaks volumes for why you should consider either changing hobbies or sitting down and reading until your eyes hurt for the next month or so to get up to speed on all this kinda stuff. And I say that with all the kindness in the world. You're just reading it on the net so you might not infer my empathy through my text. It's there. You just need (epic amounts of) research.

If you don't truly know enough to do these kinds of videos it's the blind leading the blind. You'll be Austin Evans II.
 
Oh. Yes.
You are so right! I've forgot about 4 way memory controller. So, basically ones will need all 8 memory slots filled with RAM to engage full scale work of this controller.

Wow.
8 RAMs ...
 
So, here is.

Let me know what do you think about PSU, Case and cooler.



Even with cheaper Radeon 290. With 970 Gtx will be +200$.

But this system will easily handle with all 2014 games in 4K.
May be except is AC: Unity. Freaking laggy Sh it.
