Dedicated Streaming PC!

N1C2010 · January 23, 2019

Hi, I am looking at purchasing a used PC to use purely for stream encoding to Twitch as a secondary to my gaming PC. Would an i5 2400 @ 3.1Ghz and 4GB RAM be enough for this?

If you go with an elgato it might be enough, but I‘d reccomend (as I always do) something like a Ryzen 5 and an old gpu you have lying around

Very recently news broke about: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13884/zotac-streaming-minipc-the-mi553b-with-integrated-avermedia-capture-card

Which looks pretty cool and sits to the side all nice and pretty. That may be a solution. I've been throwing around the idea of making a streaming PC that you can fit in the bottom of your case, but this is a much easier and less DIY solution.

Mephi00 is also spot on, but that does mean having to figure out a housing and location for it. SFF's for the win in this case.
