Help with new streaming setup

Varioku420 · September 5, 2022

Budget (including currency): 10,000-20,000 usd

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Any game(high resolution), video recording and editing, I honestly don't know much about this stuff so seeking a lot of help. Needing to purchase everything, lighting, hardware, pc, monitors, microphone, camera, and anything else I need. Also maybe a server. Not quite sure. Willing to contract the work out and hoping to include help in installing everything. Any companies that help do all this? Ive seen the videos of the staff helping a streamer upgrade their space and am hoping to get similar help just starting from scratch. Thank you in advance for any help in accomplishing this.

Assuming you live in the US, you could get Microcenter to put it together for you. But I am sure there are a lot of people on this forum who would also be willing to help put it together and would probably charge less, though that does come with a higher chance of things being damaged in shipping. I would volunteer, but I do live in Canada so shipping prices would be a massive pain.

Now to help with putting together a parts list, I do have a few questions

1. Are you wanting to go the route of having two pcs, one for playing your games and the other for doing the streaming? Having two would put less stress on the hardware of you pc and would increase performance when gaming/streaming

2. Are you wanting speakers? if so how good do you want them?

3. How much do you care about mic quality?

4. Which is more important, image quality of your game, or the speed of your game(monitor wise)?

5. Do you want a curved monitor or flat? It is all personal preference

Thanks for getting back to me. Its been a huge struggle to get any real help on the matter. To answer your questions, I wouldn't mind to having a 2 pc setup if i needed to. I'm open to that. I'll need speakers for sure. Not really hard-core ones but fairly decent. Probably image quality over speed but I'm hoping for the best of both worlds if I can. I know I want to run a 3 monitor setup (one horizontal and probably the other 2 vertical) so probably a flat monitor. And I want excellent mic and camera quality.
