Hey guys, i am streamer and in a few weeks i am about to build Two PCs. One streaming Machine and the other gaming rig. i will be traveling with this build a lot so i decided to use Phanteks Enthoo Mini XL wich is case that can hold two motherboards (One Micro ATX and the other mini ITX), so i am wondering is there a product in line of PSUs with essentialy hat i need out of the box?

Why no stream on the same rig? Modern system are more than fast enough for this.

If you look at any streamer who is professional, they have two rigs. It allows for maximum quality.

thanks to theKeemo for the link

 

If you are playing CSGO you noticed that the game dosnt need 6 or 8 cores. so all you need is frequency, 4 big cores like i have on 4790k right now. but OBS likes to have a lot of cores, but you lose frequency. so i think the best is to have Two PC setup for this, also there is other very important factor. i am not buying two PCs at once. i am just reusing old PC to Encoder and getting new one for gaming.

The only reason to use 2 system is to have one having a capture cad, which is a mess and are very unrealiable(see linus videos/wan show). You are also normally limited to 1080p60. I suggest using nvidia shadowplay or obs. With shadow play there is no hit on preformance and reasonble quality. With obs you get good quality with x264 and a high quality on a fast cpu. No one is going to notice a slight difference, and your streaming service will be the limit on the quality, not your setup.
