personally for that price i'd go with this

#

junior could probably magic up something better but this is pretty solid

maybe they needed extra budget for a monitor or something

#

this is 851

#

pretty significantly lower spec but will get the job done in most scenarios

#

hence why i’m just waiting for a reply but an amd card is definitely the way to go considering a 1650 will definitely not cut it depending on the games they want to stream

Streaming is gonna be a struggle on that kind of budget regardless shrug

@zenith ivy 2 questions

  1. are you gonna play wireless or wired
  2. what games are you trying to stream and play

but if it’s something you need should be possible it’s gonna be rough another question are you set on that case or would you be willing to go down to a cheaper case?

fortnite on the other hand might run a little worse

@zenith ivy will this be your first PC? Or have you got a PC you could take a windows licence from to free up a bit of cash

#

I just can't quite anything I'd want to recommend so an extra £80 or so would really help

the max would be a round £1000.
