New Streaming PC

[Dudsta44]

This is my first time posting so I don't really know how this truly works as of yet, but I still need some help with this. So I love streaming, but I just cant do what I want to do on my laptop anymore. I have a budget of around 900-1000 Australian dollars, and would like some assistance with this (I don't know if this will be enough money though...). Also, I've tried this before in other areas and also completely disregarded the fact that I was Australian and did not help me at all when it came to availability (you know, because Perth sucks...). Thank you to all that can support me with my issue (or even not, thank you for reading at least).

You should wait for ryzen 5 to be available, it should perform a lot better in streaming for similar price. If you do not want to wait then you could go for something like this

just streaming or some gaming too?

For streaming you kinda have to have multithreading for it to work well without tanking performance. Unless you are playing a game that use little cpu to begin with. I would wait for ryzen 5 or maybe get a haswel xeon with the H series motherboard from that generation. If I remember correctly they supported the xeon.

For your budget, Ryzen 5 CPUs are probably the best choices. The Ryzen 5 1600/1600X will be better if you can spend more.
Also, I didn't include a SSD in the list.

Just out of curiosity have you explored the possibility of using a second PC/laptop for streaming? For less than $300 I was able to buy a good USB 3.0 capture card (1080p @ 60 FPS) and an old Alienware laptop with a quad core i7 in it that I use for streaming at pretty good quality.

It's literally 2 days plus shipping.

It'll go a bit over budget once you convert the 1600 to AUD, but the performance gain is worth it.
