yea i got you later today. I'll have to do it when no one is using the internet so they wont get tilted.

the only reason im going with a water cooler is because i already have one so i might as well use it. although i could use the extra money from getting a cheaper board towards the cpu

x264 is CPU-based, software encoding. NVENC is GPU-based, hardware encoding. There is specific hardware on your GPU to handle the encoding, so it doesn't impact your FPS in any discernible way. The 2600 is deemed good at streaming because it has 6 cores, and typically games utilize 1 'strong' core so the extra cores can be used for encoding while having minimal impact on gameplay, especially while having multiple programs open during a broadcast.

4000kbps is way overkill for 720p30. For 720p30 bitrate is 2500-3000kbps. After that the quality gets diminishing returns. For 1080p30 or 720p60 bitrate should be 3000-4500kbps. This is good site to reference to https://stream.twitch.tv/ but I would also recommend testing things out.

Thanks for helping me understand though, i wouldve carelessly wasted money if i never posted this forum. Now i know what to look at next time i move

Oh okay, thanks

O shoot okay so my credit card information is

Thx for the help
