Seeking recommendations for a gaming and streaming PC setup.
Seeking recommendations for a gaming and streaming PC setup.
Greetings online community!
I had planned to purchase a ready-made computer setup, but I’ve chosen instead to assemble my own, and I'm seeking advice.
I need a system capable of playing games (requiring at least 1080p resolution), streaming (also needing 1080p), and video editing.
My goal is to stay within an $800 price range.
Accessories like monitors or keyboards aren't required.
Thank you in advance for your invaluable guidance.

Tower only? Are you requiring additional components, such as a screen or other accessories?
I just finished revising it to include this. Amazing!
If you could increase the budget by approximately $800, I’d purchase this.

Is it just a tower computer? Do you require additional accessories or a display screen?
I recently finished modifying it to include this. Amazing.

Tower only? Are you also interested in accessories like a monitor or other components?

Is a tower all you require? Do you also need accessories or a monitor?
I just finished revising this to incorporate it. It’s remarkable.
If the cost can reach approximately $800, I would purchase this one.

That seems like a good configuration!
Would six cores provide such a significant improvement compared to eight cores on the 2700 model?
To achieve smooth 1080p streaming, a 6-core/12-thread processor should suffice. However, if you're uncertain about its performance, consider upgrading the graphics card to a 1060 with 6GB of VRAM or an RX 580 with 4/8GB, and allocate the remaining funds to a $2700 (X) card. What hardware are you currently employing for streaming? OBS often demands a more powerful processor, but if you're utilizing ShadowPlay, a 2060 would be an excellent choice for 1080p streaming.
