Hi, I'm wondering about twitch streaming from a console and how much computing power and gpu power is necessary to get the job done. I'd primarily be streaming call of duty at 60 fps is the goal. Cpu/gpu input especially would be helpful. Such as how many cores do I need, with hyper threading etc. I'm hoping to keep the budget around $1000. Thanks

You'd need to make sure you are using a wired connection on both the console and the computer. 

 

You don't need that much computing power, but obviously the faster the better.

 

Also one final note is that the game streaming feature won't work well for Call of Duty. The game itself slows down the console's ability to encode the stream to the PC so if you hit a high-action section of the game then the stream will be choppy for a second and you'll die. 

 

In my personal experience, playing Forza 6 is a bit of a nightmare and my PC and Xbox are connected to a gigabit switch literally right next to each other....and I have a nice PC.

The R9 380 natively supports 2160p30 recording, and, as such, can do 1080p60 recording easily.

You won't need a super strong GPU to do 1080p60 recording with the GPU doing all the heavy work.

Good power supply which is also particularly cheap.

My go to SSD and hard drive.

Went ATX in case you wanted to expand more.

 

All you need is a capture card, and Windows or any other OS.
