    • Games include but not limited to...
      • Elite Dangerous: Odyssey
      • Satisfactory
      • Final Fantasy 7 Remake
      • Division 2

      • Ace Combat 7
      • Everspace 2
      • Space Engineers
      • Star Citizen
      • Final Fantasy 14
    • Chrome (for code development or meeting)
    • Voicemeter
  • Streaming PC
    • OBS
    • Voicemeter
    • Chrome

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

  • Gaming PC
    • preferably 4 screens
      • Main screen for gaming / for developing code
      • Screen 2 for watching Youtube if grinding or white noise if coding 
      • Screen 3 (vertical) for chats
      • Screen 4 for referencing when coding
      • Monitors are at least 2k resolution
    • 1 mechanical keyboard (with handrest) that has RGB lights
    • 1 MMO Mouse (with numpad on side) that has RGB lights
    • Really good casing with good airflow
    • If possible, air-cooled rather than liquid-cooled (unless it is not possible) to remove chance of untimely leaks
    • GPU and CPU should allow at least high settings on Elite Dangerous Odyssey and Ace Combat 7 and Final Fantasy 15 with at least 60 FPS on 2K monitors, while at least medium settings on Star Citizen (or at least make it playable at 30FPS - i know this game is taxing)
    • GPU should allow at least 4 screens
    • 1 camera (just for work meetings)
  • Streaming PC
    • 1 screen
    • Stream deck
    • 1 keyboard
    • 1 mouse
    • Smaller than gaming PC
    • GPU and CPU should allow ability to encode / decode streams
    • 2 camera setup (might go for the new insta360 link)
  • Extras
    • 1 audio mixer with two outputs to go to both PCs 
    • 1 really good gaming headset
    • 1 external sound system (if i am tired with the headset)

Would like to get some ideas on what parts to get before I buy the parts and build one. My target for buying will be end of 3rd up until mid of 4th quarter this year.

Not really particular if AMD or Intel but ever since all of my computers before are of Intel - but I would prefer stability rather than "at the edge".

I am not really particular with overclocking and would go for the safe side but would appreciate help on how to overclock them. 

As for availability, i'll check locally if it is available but might go buying parts online from Singapore if needed. I just need a list of parts that are compatible with each other (because I am not really good at picking parts that are compatible)

The purpose of this build is:

  • I want to stream games on my channel (just for fun or as a hobby)
  • I want to separate my streaming PC for other purposes later on and I don't want to tax my gaming PC
  • I want to stream or record my coding practices for educational purposes
  • I want to play Elite Dangerous or Satisfactory at high settings, and at least have a good experience on Star Citizen

I can go over budget if necessary but would have a max of 5k

If there are things here that is weird or I misunderstood, just let me know and I can change them

Thanks everyone in advance for the help.
