Hey guys, so technically this is my first post on the forums, but I HAVE had other accounts. Just can't remember logins for them, lol. So I come to the LTT forums today and hope that someone who knows more about streaming than I do can help me with a streaming computer. I already have a gaming computer, specs as listed below, but I was planning on buying and building another computer strictly for streaming. I figure a solid i7, an r9 380 or GTX 970 at least, an SSD would probably be preferred, and I mean at least 16gigs of RAM. If anyone could help me with an idea for a build, that would be awesome. I also don't have an issue going used on a lot of the parts, mainly because the only non used part in my current PC is my Noctua cooler, and I have been poking around my local Craigslist to see what they have. I actually found one of the Asus ROG G20AJ desktops for 450 with an i5 4460 and a GTX 780 in it. I was thinking about maybe having my parents get the computer for the family and then me take the 780 and use it for the streaming PC since the only thing that happens on the family computer is youtube videos, email, and facebook. Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

 

Current Build:

CPU: Intel i7 3930k

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

GPU: EVGA GTX 780 Classified

Mobo: Asus Rampage IV Extreme

RAM: 16GB(4x4 kit) Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz

PSU: 1000W Cooler Master Silent Pro 80+ Bronze

Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower

Storage: 2TB Seagate 7200rpm HDD

Operating System: Windows 10 Home

US, and about 600

Well your current build should already be fine for what you want to do so...just use your GPU to stream rather than putting the load on your CPU, with either DXtory or Shadowplay if that works on the older cards
