Streaming PC build

deletedalien · December 10, 2018

Hi all, This is my very first post on this forum so bare with me,
i will try and be as specific as possible....

ok. so i need to build a "streaming" rig.

***i Don't need to stream live gameplay,***
Just my Logitech C920 and possibly some local videos photos etc... and also stream/capture a google hangouts or skype or facebook videocall. (to stream like an interview type) all using OBS.

i recently bought a dell optiplex 780 it came with 8 gb of ram, and i decided to upgraded the hdd to a SanDisk 250GB Ultra 3D NAND SATA III SSD, and also the cpu to an intel Q9650. also i bought a D-Link Desktop WA-582 Wireless AC1200 Dual Band PCIe WIFI Adapter, that i use with 2 22 inch monitors one is a HP something or the other and the second is a benQ "el cheap-o" 2 inch something or the other with a generic mouse and Keyboard

Windows 7pro 64 bit

(also on the way... i bought a 128 bit pcie HD7670 4gb GDDR5 graphics card from wish.com...)

ok so THAT setup... ^^ currently "works" i CAN steam to facebook live and/or youtube just fine... ish... except Because my D-link card uses a PCIe port the integrated display port gets disabled.. (smh) and so i have to use the VGA... and it order to get a second monitor running i had to resort to a USB to VGA adapter that severely sucks....

ok now with this in mind.... and since i already used up some of my budget on the stuff i mentioned, i now resort to you... the internet... for help.

i essentially have those parts and say about 200 u.s. dlls
could i... potentially build something descent?

maybe use the same Ram and CPU?

Thanx in advance for your input.

Without knowing the exact model of Optiplex 780 it's tough to make suggestions.

Perhaps the simplest solution would be to get a discrete gpu that supports multiple monitors and replace the PCIe WiFi card with a USB WiFi stick. But if the motherboard supports multiple concurrent displays, just replace the PCIe WiFi card with a USB version.
