Hello Guys.

 

As the title says, I'm interesting in knowing what the system requirements would be to stream HD with 40-60 FPS would be through OBS -> Twitch.

OBS? You want Intel. Probably an i5. Intel QuickSync is your friend.

As I have AMD right now, and switching to intel once z97 gets official, I have no idea what's the best for intel, haha  

So QuickSync is recommanded as for intel use ?

So the system requirements is not that important ?

The CPU and your internet speed are the two major factors.

You want a minimum upload speed of 5Mb/s and at least a quad core CPU since streaming (just as recording) will put a heavy strain on your system as well

Thanks a lot guys. So the future i5-4690k would do the job ?

Yes that would be very capable to stream.

Try to get at least an 8 Mbit/s connection.

It actually depends on what you want to play and stream at the same time.

I have an i5 4670K and when i try to play cs go and stream at the same time i go from 290 fps to 140 fps.

This is with screen tearing and a serious lag in my game.and it's not my upload speeds cause i have 8 mb up and 18 mb down while outputting 3.5 mb with a 1.2 mb buffer.

To be honest the i5 is not beefy enough for streaming and gaming on the same system.
