Advice for a strong streaming Pc

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€

Ryzen 7 baby, new ones launching in less than a couple months.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Is he encoding on CPU? That could be his problem.

Before you dump money onto a new PC, you might want to seek advice about his OBS settings.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

threadripper and i9 are utter stupid and a huge money pit, those cpus perform worse than a 9900K in gaming

as the owner of a Threadripper CPU i can highly agree with this! these are workstation chips, they are not meant for gaming/streaming and will get worse results than something like a 9900K.

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

if you are the jack of all threads,

 

he can get a 9700K/9900K for high refresh rate gaming

 

that's a pretty solid cpu for streamming as well, but if he thinks it's just not enough, then a separate machine with a ryzen 7 would kill it, as that PC would only handle the encoding

X299 costs a ton anyway,

 

that's the only way I can think of he gets the best of both worlds.

does/can a capture card replace a second pc?

no, its a pai nin the ass and does nothing that is needed if your only playing PC Games, look into NDI 2 pc setups, way better quality, and much better gaming experience

I game and livestream at the same time on my R5 1600 rig. Which is why I asked about his OBS settings in the first place.

More information = better recommendations = smart purchases = ??? = profit.
