Streaming PC

[LienusLateTips]

So I am building a dedicated streaming PC with the leftovers of my PC which I will upgrade in a few months. Here are the specs:

Intel Core i5 4460

8GB DDR3-1333

R7 370

EVGA SUPERNOVA NEX 750W (my PSU noob dad was like BUY THIS ITS BETTER THAN SEASONIC G SERIES)

mATX generic cse

 

I will replace all the components, because I think I need a fresh start with my PC. So what parts do you think I should take from here, because I also have to build another PC with similar components. But that one will be just a facebook machine

I would look into ryzen. Also maybe specify price range.

$300. For CPU, mobo, RAM and case

If the motherboard has onboard video then you don't need the GPU, the rest of the specs should be fine for a streaming PC. The laptop I use for streaming only has 6GB of RAM and an Intel i7-2670QM and the quality is pretty good.

Thats pretty tight for anything really worthwhile to upgrade. Maybe ryzen 5 in the future with ddr4 but that might be too much money and not that huge of an upgrade. If all it is doing is streaming I wouldn't really do anything to it.

I guess here are the components I will use?:

i3 7100/Ryzen 3 (if it comes out)

B250 mobo

8GB DDR4

NEX 750B

R7 370 (facebook machines probably dont need that)

So these parts will be for your gaming PC? The only thing I would change would be getting an SSD. For the streaming PC an SSD isn't needed.

I meant the Streaming PC.

The facebook machine will be iGPU with existing Haswell i5

The Gaming PC will be Ryzen 5

I would just reuse your old PC parts you listed in the first post. The extra cost won't improve the performance/quality much.

So the i5 in the Streaming or the Facebook machine?

i5 in the streaming, if you need a Facebook machine then a sub-$200 Dell Optiplex or a mini-PC would be your cheapest option.

Regarding the EVGA NEX PSU. Tell you're dad that all the rails are treated as one big group and not regulated independent
The result of that is some truly crappy voltage regulation in fact some of the WORST i have ever seen.
