I don't know why do you need to up-side-down everything. )
I told about 860K but not about AM1.
Are you familiar with the fact that AMD CPUs have terrible IPC performance?
Dual core 3258 obliterates quad core 860K. There are a few games that require four cores to run that won't run on the 3258 but those are few and far between. An overclocked 3258 is the best $60 you can spend on a CPU. And it clocks pretty good on the stock cooler too.
I know you're talking about the 860K now but as I said earlier, if you need somebody to recommend you a motherboard for it then you don't know enough to be doing build videos.
Why don't you do the build Bob posted but use the ASRock board I suggested and make a youtube video about that? It'll outperform an 860K build.
Case in point though: There are enough people on youtube already putting garbage out there. Even some supposed experts like Tek Syndicate will put out crap sometimes. There are very few youtubers who know 100% of what there is to know about hardware and compatibility. You see builds with V300 SSDs, 8350s on 4 phase boards with no VRM heatsinks, 4790K's paired with GTX 750's... just lots of nonsense out there. All we're trying to say is don't add to the pile.
I've only ever seen one "Build video" on youtube where I agreed with all the parts. It's a dangerous game to play. Computers are individualized things. I'm not going to use my computer the exact same way as you, and EarthDog, and Bob are going to do something else, and so on. You can build 1000s of configurations for $800, and what suits one gamer may not suit another gamer/photoshopper and that may not suit a video editor, a CAD worker, etc etc. The system needs to be tailor made to the user. That's the whole point of custom builds. People are much better off coming to a forum like this one, telling us what their usage scenario and budget are, and having us put something together for them, than they are copying a one size fits all video off youtube.
Another thing, new parts come out all the time, rebates and prices change... how long will your video be relevant? 3 months? tops? It's not worth it dude, seriously.
Its wiser to make a video about HOW to build a computer than it is to make a video about which parts to choose. The latter will have a short life span, practically speaking.
Watch some EPIC youtube PC channels for inspiration. TastyPCTV is my favorite. It's done by Lauren, a 21 year old young woman from England. She seriously knows her stuff. Her videos are so professional and so direct to the point and they miss not one fact. Someone to copy. Get good and there could be money in it for you.
If you want to do a "How to build" video watch some Carey Holzman videos. He's the king of PC DIY on youtube. His build videos set the benchmark. 2 1/2 hours of painstakingly detailed explanations. If anybody can watch one of his videos and proceed to incorrectly assemble their PC, that person needs to be institutionalized because his videos are that good.
