Live Streaming Build Help - $1,200 budget

[ChristopherMS]

I was a bit hesitant to build a dedicated live streaming machine since I already have a NAS plus my gaming rig, but came to the conclusion it would be best to have a dedicated computer for streaming. For the chassis I was hoping for a slim micro (or small form factor) atx for easy transportation for special streams with friends where all of us meet up. If a window is present in the chassis I would prefer the components to either be white or black. I was never a fan of a green motherboard with blue ram and a yellow whatever. The motherboard I am hoping for USB 3.0/3.1 and USB Type C. On a daily use I will only be using two Elagto HD60 Capture cards(already own), but for those special streams I would LIKE the option of having the computer being able to handle an additional four capture Elgato HD60 capture cards. For the motherboard I was looking at the Asus Rog Maximum Vlll Gene LGA 1151 z170 which looks perfect. - Total Budget $1200, but lower is better.

edit: I know that the motherboard is probably overkill, but at the same time I like the fact that it supports m.2 plus has USB type C

if you already own a gaming rig + a NAS you should be able to come up with a PCPP link which would help people on the forum help you out. Have you thought of getting a dual or quad input capture card?

Going with an mATX build.

I think you could probably get by with an i5-6400 for just streaming, however if you feel you need the extra power and want to OC it, then the 6600k it is.

Believe that's the motherboard you mentioned, decided on it before I saw you asked for it. Cpu doesn't come with a cooler so I went for a good rated one that wasn't that big in size.

Simple 16gb of ram.

As for storage if it's just for streaming then I doubt you'll need a whole lot of space, so I just went with an m.2 500gb ssd (I have that specific one). Not to mention if you're going to be carrying it around to places then having a single ssd would probably be better instead of having mechanical drives in there, it making the weight a little less, and you don't want to be swinging around hdds all the time.

I believe the RX 480 would be a really good card. there's like $130 left in the budget so you can go with an 8gb vram model if you feel you need more than 4gb.

Case comes down to user preference, just went with one from a reputable brand and is still stylish and very much functional.

As for power supply basically went with a cheap 650w one, this one made by Seasonic which means there's nothing to worry about.

Normally I'd say this is a good build, but considering he has a main gaming pc, this build would be very overkill for just streaming
