Soundelite Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Here are my PC specs https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Soundelite/saved/. I was thinking of building a dedicated streaming PC so i can get a better quality stream. But if you guys have other suggestion I will happily take them (experienced streamers advice).

MMDE Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Why are you buying a 6th gen intel core CPU? 8th gen is much better and pretty much the same price. Also means you get a better motherboard etc. https://ark.intel.com/products/series/122593/8th-Generation-Intel-Core-i7-Processors Current gen CPUs, if you want i7, but here's i5: https://ark.intel.com/products/series/122597/8th-Generation-Intel-Core-i5-Processors And they also introduced i9: https://ark.intel.com/products/series/134928/8th-Generation-Intel-Core-i9-Processors You probably want 8700K or 8600K. https://ark.intel.com/products/126684/Intel-Core-i7-8700K-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4_70-GHz https://ark.intel.com/products/94189/Intel-Core-i7-6800K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz Much faster, a tiny bit smaller cache, using a lot less watt, natively supports faster RAM. Also better motherboard. Edited September 9, 2018 by MMDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundelite Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 I bought it before 8th gen was out. I already have the PC built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your opening post is a bit confusing! What do you want from us? Edited September 9, 2018 by MMDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your opening post is a bit confusing! sorry about that i don't usually go on forums like that. I was just curios if its better to make a second rig to stream rather get on rig that does it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowxSakura Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Quality of your stream is heavily dependent on your upload speed, and your cpu being able to run whichever streaming program you use plus whatever game you're running under heavy loads without receiving thermal throttling If you're really concerned about it, you can always have a second computer handle just the streaming while the main one is for games For your amd build, you don't need such an expensive mobo, I use the x470 for my ryzen 2700x build and it's less than half the price of that one Edited September 9, 2018 by SnowxSakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMDE Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Just now, SnowxSakura said: Quality of your stream is heavily dependent on your upload speed, and your cpu being able to run whichever streaming program you use plus whatever game you're running under heavy loads without receiving thermal throttling This is true. But it looked fine, and I think you can get the GPU to do the encoding, so CPU won't be as much affected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundelite Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 So my upload speed is 20 to 22 mbps is that enough for 1080p 60 fps other than the cpu. 3 minutes ago, SnowxSakura said: Quality of your stream is heavily dependent on your upload speed, and your cpu being able to run whichever streaming program you use plus whatever game you're running under heavy loads without receiving thermal throttling If you're really concerned about it, you can always have a second computer handle just the streaming while the main one is for games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the GPU, a lot of newer games are GPU intensive really, although a 1080ti would be okay on that front, but going sli/crossfire with dual gpus would make it easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundelite Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Would you say the upload speed is okay or is it really that bad that i need another gpu to make up for it. 2 minutes ago, SnowxSakura said: Depends on the GPU, a lot of newer games are GPU intensive really, although a 1080ti would be okay on that front, but going sli/crossfire with dual gpus would make it easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowxSakura Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) 3 minutes ago, MMDE said: He's asking about 1080p 60fps I'm aware, but if we are talking about ultra settings on games, they're still incredibly intensive on a GPU. Plus there are some pc games that just can't hit 60 fps in areas of the game depending on how populated it is. Downtown Boston in fallout 4 is pretty bad about it, it averages around 40 fps there 4 minutes ago, Soundelite said: Would you say the upload speed is okay or is it really that bad that i need another gpu to make up for it. Your upload speed is fine, the recommended upload speed for 1080p60fps is 4500 to 6000 kbps Edited September 9, 2018 by SnowxSakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundelite Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 I know that streaming console games are way easier than PC games because with PC games you would always have to tinker with the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
