Second PC for Streaming

[Camelsmaycry]

Hi 

 

Well my nephews Twitch channel is kinda growing and he was asking me about specs for a secondary Streaming PC, now TBH I really don't know a lot about streaming PC specs.

 

Budget $1000 and I hope that's enough.

 

Thank you

With current processors, a secondary pc is almost redundant 

 

A single system setup is much easier to manage

 

With 1000$ you can get a fantastic system that would be great for gaming and streaming

That's actually a pretty good looking PC.

What stream settings are they using?
Try using NVENC encoding instead of software x264. Takes the load off the CPU and utilises the GPU for encoding. Doesn't impact gaming performance anywhere near as significantly as software (CPU) encoding.

That's true, for dual streaming setups NVENC is a marvel.
