Stream Machine build plan

Here is the link for my part list. Planning a basic portable pc for in home steam streaming from my main rig to the living room for social gaming. Also for Geforce now on the go hence the case with a handle for portability. Just wondering if I can make it more efficient for price to performance.

What games are you planning on streaming?

I don't think a ryzen 5 3400g will be quite sufficient to game and stream at decent settings, resolution and settings?

EDIT: Ah I completely got your goal wrong, sorry mate. Ignore my response :D

this is going to be your secondary box, the capture box? Depending how complex your compositing is for your stream cpu usage increases for obs, but since it's a 4 core 8 thread it should be fine, as long as you aren't doing anything too crazy. I've only played around with obs and streaming a bit myself so...

I already have a stream capable rig I'm just building one to stream play from my main rig to a small portable rig so I can play games out in the living room without moving my pc. Also to carry with me to places so I can just use geforce now. The apu I want is more than enough and even can play some not too demanding titles on its own if I plan on gaming from it. Might need more ram for that last part tho.

Nice! basically the same thing but 100$ cheaper. Thanks man. The only thing I didn't mention is I went with one 8 gig stick for expansion reasons. Be able to throw in an extra stick and a discrete gpu for light on the go AAA gaming from the pc itself however thats not my main goal here but the option would be nice.
