A dedicated streaming PC without a GPU?

Hey people!

 

I'm trying to find some help and tips about building a dedicated streaming PC.

I have a ps4 with a external capture card and 2 monitors so I think I wouldn't need a GPU right?

I want to look for a Ryzen 5 2400G build.

My budget is around 500 bucks.

You don't need a GPU to stream unless you were using the GPU to encode the video, which people don't recommend anyway because of quality issues.

 

You'd also have to get a Ryzen APU, because nobody makes motherboards with on-board GPUs anymore. Not that it really matters, but just clarifying something.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Thank you... I edited my post now!

Are you looking to replace the capture card? I thought it did the heavy lifting for capture encoding.

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
