First PC build for streaming

[EMILETHERAT]

So I'm building my first computer and I would like to hopefully record games and stream using OBS. However, I want to get the components that are right for me and I'm scared of bottlenecking or just getting bad framerates when streaming. Here are my specs:

Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K7 Ryzen AM4 AMD Motherboard

AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Processor

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Dual-Fan OC Edition Graphics Card

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz

WD Blue 2TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive

EVGA 550 N1, 550W

Thanks

Go for the 1700, is not worth the X.

That PSU is literally a bomb.

Get a Corsair CX 450 (only has a single 8 pin connector though), CX 450M, or BeQuiet PurePower 10 400 instead.

Ryzen 5 1600 and B350 mobo will do well enough for streaming. You should spend more on other parts

 

Thing to add: SSD. This can radically shorten boot times and drastically improve system responsiveness

 

Things to throw away: PSU. EVGA cheap 80+ Bronze PSU are already bad, 80+ white are even worse. This N1 unit is literally telling you that No One should buy it. It doesnt even get an 80+ rating, so it's probably the worst PSU from EVGA, waste of mother Earth's resources.

Better mobo for less money

 

Didnt check for RAM availability, I'm on my phone.

 

GPU: Single fan cards can keep the 1060's 120W TDP in check. Dont worry about temperature problems.

 

SSD: Your budget seems to be 1.1k right? I added one this big to store the OS and often played games. You can cut that down to a 240GB~256GB model to save some money. As for NVMe ones (there are M.2 ones that are SATA drives, not NVMe), they arent worth buying since normal users or gamers wont feel the difference, but they cost noticeably more.

 

HDD: 3TB one should hold all your video recordings and games that dont fit into the SSD.

 

PSU: Just as good if not better, for much less.
