For just recording or does it need a gpu? Either way, i think a ryzen 2200g system would flt.  Here's a parts list in usd that is under budget.

This is such a dilemma for me. I need it now lol but I know I will regret if I buy it soon. but idk when the product will even be released to our region, I'm not sure how quick we are, I imagine not to quick.

Dumb question, why wouldn't I need a gpu? I would also like to play the game smoothly.

Well, the other dilemma is you gave the price in USD but that won't translate to your market at all. What's your budget in your own regional currency and what narketplaces will you buy from?

Well I didn't know if you needed a dedicated recording system, in which case a cpu with an igpu would be fine, but if you need a system that is both playing and recording the game, youre going to need a budget larger than $500 to get near 1080p60fps while recording.

Thank you, I've asked around and im getting the same response. I guess there is no hope for me

I can't wait because I really need a new computer at the present moment. My budget in local currency is RM2000 and I will check my local PC store if pausible if not I would go to a tech marketplace called lazada

I started with this, somewhat decent but affordable motherboard, dual channel ram, a CPU with integrated graphics. You should get a case and power supply from your local shop, as well as storage. Update us with what you have available, letting us advise from a few options will help 

[Speeding]

Sorry for the late reply. My store has the MSI B450M Pro-m2-v2 is that good enough?  I couldn't find ASROCK anywhere 

 

Towers are RM150

 

And storage 170 (250GB SSD).

 

Cheapest Power Supply I could get are:

 

Cooler Master MWE 550 230V RM 189

 

 

 

 

I'm planning on increasing my budget as well because idk if I'm convinced this would be able to record overwatch without lag so I propose:

 

+AMD Ryzen 5 1600G

+G.SKILL Ripjaws V 16GB 3000MHz (8GB x2) F4-3000C15D-16GVR RAM

+SAPPHIRE ATI RX 580 8GB DDR5 256Bit (NITRO+ OC RX 580 8GD5) RX580 8G OC VGA Graphic Card(Not sure about this one, if 4GB is enough or 8GB) 

 

But you can criticize if this is too much optimization or if I can reduce the specs. 

 

Thank you for reading all this and helping me build.

The 1600 and an RX 580 will do fine for 1080p High settings in Overwatch with an OBS recording going.

Should I go 4GB or 8GB?

I mean if you can afford 8GB, do so.

It won't affect anything right if I opt for an OC one?

OC means that the core clocks are going to be a bit higher out of the box.

The VRAM determines the number of Shaders, textures etc that the GPU can compute.

The VRAM also assists heavily in GPU heavy processing, which a lot of recording software falls under.

 

VRAM and Core clocks are neither the end all be all, but both are equally important.

I'd opt for an 8GB model over and OC 4GB.

You could always overclock it yourself if you want higher clocks.

Thank you. The 8GB RX480 models are mostly sold with OC settings.

Do you think motherboards play significant parts in speed?  I chose this due to numerous people suggesting  B450 but I can't grasp what it entitles. 

[Speeding]

Do you also think fans are necessary?

Not in speed directly, but more in cooling and power delivery (bot administered by what's called VRMs. The B450 series is going to be the best line of affordable consumer boards. Not all have great VRMs, so some are not really worth having.

If you're not overclocking, and the cooler on the GPU is decent, I'd say an exhaust is just fine. Really at least a single intake and exhaust would be a good idea though.

Thank you dude for your help
