Streaming PC?

[KoSBlindFire]

My friend wants to start streaming, and making videos for the cheapest price, without compromising any quality. What do you guys think about this?

Bad idea to start streaming without having any audience on a platform. If hes doing it for fun then have at it, but do not have any expectations of making any money or garnering an audience

 

Otherwise it looks fine spec wise.

No, no, he has money elsewhere, he just has a friend that's trying to get him into it, he thinks it'll be fun.

The EVGA BQ is terrible for the money, you can get a Corsair CX550 for that price. Also the Pure Rock Slim isn't so impressive compared to the stock cooler of the 2700, might as well save the cash. Gives you a touch extra room for an RX 5700 if you desire.

I also went with a more value oriented motherboard, since you're not exactly missing much switching from the gaming plus. It also allows the wifi card to be above the graphics card instead of below it.
