Hey all,

 

I need a PC just for streaming. Nothing insane, but enough for console gaming.

 

Thanks guys.

You say you want budget, and then you don't tell us the price?

Do you know what budget means?

Is this supposed to be a secondary PC just for streaming? And the PC in your sig is the one doing the gaming?

It's for a friend. I'm putting one together on PCPP, but I wanted to see what other would come up with.

I would get an ASUS motherboard if possible, and a cheaper 450-550W PSU.

You don't need an aftermarket cooler because you cannot OC the CPU. Also that MoBo is overpriced as fuck.

It's $25 and everything will stay cool...

 

It's in the budget and I feel Asus has a good rep.

It's much quieter and performs better.
