What do I need?

[Kapppa]

I just built an gaming pc and don't kno what I should start to download such as programs and stuff like that? How could I record and stream games?

First install or update all the necessarily drivers.

Then download all the other stuff, here is a link of things you could download. (download chrome and steam if you havent already)

You can just use NVIDIA shafowplay to record and stream since you have an NVIDIA card.

Download OBS pretty easy and does not lowers your FPS while gaming.

Once you install Nvidia GeForce Experience, you can update your GPU drivers. The shadowplay @fpo spoke of will also be available to use once you start up a game. It will pop up and tell you what to press to start recording. 

 

Be sure to download and install Steam here... https://store.steampowered.com/

And for streaming, OBS is what most people use... https://obsproject.com/

 

You can also hop on YouTube and/or Twitch and/or Mixer to start streaming immediately.
