Help with steam pc thingy

MrWazoo · February 25, 2016

I am trying to build a PC (or some other solution) that will allow me to play pc games down stairs on my television, by streaming them from my room upstares. Ideally it would also accomodate using teamspeak and skype.

Thanks

game stream from nvidia is a thing I know you can do another option would be thunderbolt and use that to do all of the above but you would have to either have a thunderbolt card or it on your motherboard (which i dont think they do). so pretty much a thunderbolt pci card or an nvidia gpu but all you get with an nvidia gpu is the game streaming not the team speak and skype

hmm how much does a very long thunderbolt cable cost?

also what are the average prices for cards?

You're going to need a hub and a pcie card

its an asus card about $70 us

and a hub to recieve the cable

this elgato one has 3 usb ports 1 ethernet port 1 hdmi 2.0 port and 3.5mm audio jacks it will run you $230 dont know if there is a cheaper solution for this but it does exactly what you need it too and as far as cables go the more you need the more you spend for 33 feet its about $300 this is fairly new tech so it is on the expensive side
