Streaming pc on a budget?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Suigeneris]

Hello everyone,

i currently am an active player of a really non demanding mmorpg (old school runescape) i am well aware that it does not take an insane rig to stream such an undemanding game what types of builds would you guys recommend or even consider that will not break the bank????????????

Jesus man, the punctuation.
State your Budget and Region

~1000$ r5 2600 + 1060/570/580 + cheap used card (950 ti etc)

~750 r5-1600 + 1050 ti + cheap used card

~i3-8100+1050 ti

pentium w/ HT + 1050

haven't exactly set a firm budget. i am currently just looking for recommendations on builds that aren't 1500+. midwest usa is my region. preferrably something under 500 i guess would be ideal?

Budget/Country?

If you want a new PC your best and probably only option is going to be an R3 2200G which should be able to stream using ReLive

I personally suggest you buy a complete used rig then. With a bit of luck and care, it will be much better than anything you would buy new at that pricepoint

AMD's GPU accelerated streaming in their drivers, like Shadowplay.

 

Get 16GBs of RAM over the R5 2400, so that it never needs replacing, you can drop an 8 core CPU into the PC in the future

 

If you don't need much storage grab a 240GB SSD over a 1TB hard drive.

Need fastest RAM you can get for a decent price with an APU.

Just research if anyone has actually tested streaming with ReLive from an APU, but it should be doable I would think if it can do recording.

@Suigeneris If you're just trying to play Runescape, just buy a used $40-$80 PC from eBay.
