I want to buy this PC. I'm going to use it to play, stream and eddit videos. I want to play games at 240hz (yes I do notice a huge difference between 144hz and 240hz so please don't try to convince me not go for the 240hz) and I was wondering if I should get a capture Card like Elgato HD60 PRO and put it on my other PC and run OBS from there or I should just get a better processor (i9-9900K) What is your opinion?

Either really. What is your other PC? (also for your uses, I'd go with the 8700K, assuming it's cheaper than the 9700K).

Streaming and gaming on one pc will always hurt frame rate, so get a capture card, or try ndi in obs for the highest fps

Well if your other PC is an Athlon X2, yeah it matters lol. That looks fine for capturing, should work well. But at your price point, I don't think it will matter, you probably have enough money to do both lol.

yes XD but it's not neccesary so I was just wondering wich one is better. Capture Card for stream or a better CPU  D :

So are you gonna capture with the other rig? Or do it all from one?

Im currently in the same boat and would like to know what should i go for but this will all be done off one rig

Most people are telling me go with a R7 2700 but id like to stay team blue if possible. Im wanting the best of both worlds and also have good non streaming performance in games

Well if you want your game play uninhibited, Id do the card. Then the cpu for the stream rig later.

Yeah thats what ive selected as i wont touch the 9th gen. But im wondering if i should get a HD60 Pro to do all my encoding. Im not a fan of AMD as the options just dont compete with intel in terms of performance but do have a lower price point on a less optimized architecture

The h60 wont be doing any encoding.

Why wouldnt it when it has a h.264 encoder onboard? Why would it be there then?

As you cant chose it to be the encoder in any software, the cpu will be doing the work like normal unless you chose the a gpu for some reason.

Everything im seeing says otherwise as you record and stream to OBS with it. It plugs from the gpu to the card and then to the monitor so. It just captures the games play, send it to obs then to your screen

 

Seems it pulls alot of of stress off the cpu with the encoder

Ok, I guess you’ll see when you get it.
