[KevinH9]

I have a quick question i plan on using 

 

i5 8400

8gb ram 3000 DDR4

A case 

500w power supply 

 

 

Heres where I'm stuck I want to stream and game at the same time but I'm also looking at budget building can a GTX 3gb stream and game on games like forntite on high to ultra settings?

 

Any graphics card suggestions would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

You are looking at at least a 1060 or a RX 580 to stream and game at the same time. I would recommend a 1070, if you can afford it.

Ryzen cpus are the best for streaming and gaming. Rn they are $165 which is within $10 of the 8400, whilst being more powerful and newer. Also, do you know what motherboard you'll be using? And idk about ultra settings but maybe high. You might wanna look into at least getting a rx 580

1060 what 3gb or 6gb

[Krosis]

Probably a 6GB, but if the 3Gb is significantly cheaper, go for that one.

Where do you live though? Software such as OBS requires a bit more horsepower than you plan on building. If you live in the US, you can manage with around a $1000 before taxes. Here's something to look at.
