does/can a capture card replace a second pc?

what about a capture card with the new pc?

that sounds like a good idea

He has monitors. He plays at 240hz and i dont think that machine could run overwatch above 300fps while streaming 1080p/60hz

One of my friends would like to build a computer for streaming. He asked me if i could pick parts that would suffice his needs. His old computer had: Gpu:Gtx980 Cpu: Intel i7 i5820k Ram: 16gb Crucial 2133mhz He said he has alot of streaming issues were fps drop while streaming also he doesnt like the quality of his streams either. He streams most-likely Overwatch and plays with a 240hz Monitor. He demanded a machine that could run Overwatch with about 300fps never dropping below 240 while streaming 1080p/60hz. My Suggestions were a Gpu: Rtx 2080ti Ram: some 3200mhz 16gb But for the cpu i didnt know which one to pick and we dont think a i7 8700k would suffice. I would like to take something like the AMD threadripper wx2990 but i dont know if it could keep up with those high framerates. Alternative would be an Intel Core i9 7940X. Prices of both are high but he wanted something very powerful for streaming without losing any fps ingame . So what do you guys think what kind of hardware i should put in this computer. Budget is around 4k€
