No GPU live streaming gaming build. reccomendations?

[Diamand_G]

Hi, I recently saw JayzTwoCents video on fortnite on a budget. Essentially he had a AMD Ryzen 5 2400g CPU and paired it with 16 GB of 2400 ram. He gets about 60 frames on about medium settings. Once he puts in a graphics card he bumps all the way up to high settings easily playing the game.
This build seems very valuable to me since I'm just getting into PC gaming and GPU prices are crazy ridiculous due to mining.

My question: I want to be able to stream at least 720p to youtube. If I bump the CPU up to a Ryzen 7 1700x, will streaming be successful at 60 fps even at lowest settings(on fortnite) ? I have a youtube channel started up and streaming is such a great influence for the channel. Thank you to any and all responses / suggestions.

 

I also currently have a laptop with a GeForce 940mx and a dual core Intel processor (definitely not enough to stream as I have tried it before) I also produce videos, so a machine that could (relatively) quickly render videos would be a great plus.

 

PS. I would go for a budget PC. With a GPU and all, but I want to have some upgrade ability, and this seems like a very solid, clean option to me.

What kind of budget do you have? That helps to determine what kind of parts I could put into a build.

I'm currently looking at 800$-900$ (which is why I wanted to up the build.)

If you can add another $100 you can get a full system. Jay just made a video with a 1000$ build. Ryzen 7, 8GB RAM, 1060 6GB. GPU prices are coming down again – slowly but steadily. You want the cores for encoding videos, a 1060 with 6GB is more than enough for 1080p gaming for most games and 8GB are okay for now.

This would be plenty...

I know that the new gen of ryzen is already out......but u'll get a better deal by going with a ryzen 1600 ...as they r going fr pretty cheap in microcenters as a combo offer..

So, I suggest u to build something like this....
