Broadcasting games

[feufollets]

Hey guys, I'm building a new rig soon in around 2-3 months and I really want to broadcast my games live or on youtube for funs. I'd like some tips and infos about what I should consider buying to make it a smooth experience because right now I have a i5-2500k 8gig ram radeon 6950 and it is kind of laggy when I broadcast something. 

Thank you guys!

If it doesn't lag when you don't broadcast, it may be your internet connection, or software. I would recommend using X-Split to stream to twitch and at least a 10mbps upload speed.

the AMD FX-8350 is beast for streaming games, infact it is better than the Intel i5 and i7 for this purpose, but not at good at everything else. Plus, you may also want the Nvidia GTX 780 if you want to play the best games at the best settings and it has its own screen recorder which has been said that it only drops the fps by 5%.

I'm using Xsplit and I have 20/10mbps.

You might get lucky with the shadowplay and the h264 stuff as that as a 3% loss while you do your stuff.

Didn't know about that. This looks nice for games recording

Think of it like a closed beta or buying a multiplayer game before the servers are online. Honestly I dont care because I dont record gameplay often but if you do record gameplay a lot then you will be very happy with it.
