Streaming Rig Recommendations

[HyukMoon]

Hey guys! 

I am tired of having to drop my game graphics to be able to stream game-play, my 2060 rtx does a good job at keeping up but it seems to also give a heavy load on my cpu. So, I decided to build a 2nd pc dedicated entirely to streaming and I wanted to know what would be the absolute minimum i have to spend to do it. I would like it to be a small micro-atx build so i have space for it on my desk but i am not sure how capable m-atx mobos are.

With that said, I have some spare components I had in my old rig:

-Ryzen 5 1500x

-Zotac geforce 1060 6gbs 

-550BR psu

would i be able to use any of these? if so, what other components would you recommend to complete the build? 

 

Thanks in advance.

PSU should be fine, but for streaming get atleast a r7 2700x or 3700x, so a 8 core cpu.

Group regulated nonsense. Shouldn't be used in any rig close to high end.

Do you have NVENC enabled? Should take off the load from your CPU.
