Howdy! I am currently trying to get a rough estimate on what sort of parts I will be needing to upgrade to be able to have a dedicated Streaming PC.

I currently stream:
PUBG, Fortnite, CS:GO, Rocket League, BioShock.
And any game that pretty much comes up.

Here is my current Streaming PC setup.

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro N 64-bit
CPU
AMD A6-3650 22 °C
Llano 32nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard
PEGATRON CORPORATION 2ACF (P0) 37 °C
Graphics
S200HQL (1600x900@60Hz)
767MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (EVGA) 33 °C
Storage
931GB Hitachi HDS721010CLA630 (SATA) 31 °C
Optical Drives
TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-H653L
Audio
Realtek High Definition Audio

I am going to be using the Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro as my Capture Card in mind.

And here is my Gaming PC setup: (just in case you are wondering)

Operating System
Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz 26 °C
Skylake 14nm Technology
RAM
16.0GB Single-Channel Unknown @ 1333MHz (15-15-15-35)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z170-A (LGA1151) 28 °C
Graphics
GN246HL (1920x1080@144Hz)
GN246HL (1920x1080@60Hz)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (EVGA) 47 °C
Storage
1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1ER164 (SATA) 30 °C
447GB SanDisk Ultra II 480GB (SSD) 29 °C
Optical Drives
hp DVD A DH16ACSHR
Audio
Logitech G430 Gaming Headset

So, I am wondering. What will I need to upgrade to make the output of the stream look decent for the games I would like to stream?

 

Thank you in advance for your time!

What resolution? You could also use the build in encoder in your gpu for encoding.

 

RIght now I am streaming in 720p. Eventually I would love to stream in 1080 but I would love to get partnered to do that. So my viewers can actually change the quality and not be forced to watch in such a high quality. And I would use the encoder on my gpu. But I was told it makes the quality of the stream really bad.

 

Also, sorry for the late reply. Didn't see the notification.
