Spec Advice for New PC

[delicate thorn]

Hey!

For reliability and longevity go for the 3070 or an RX 6800XT for a GPU - although you could also get by with a 2060 or greater without any performance impacts for streaming! I'm an AMD CPU fanboy so my recommendation would be a 7600x, although a 12700 or better would also be fine in terms of intel if you'd rather go team blue! For ram, I'd go 32GB of 3600 MHz or higher - you could get by with 16GB, but for future-proofing I'd go for 32GB. Apart from this, go with a decent air cooler or if you prefer watercooling, then a 240mm AIO.

Storage doesn't matter too much, just make sure you have a fast, reliable 240GB nvme SSD for a boot drive, then maybe get a second SSD for storing games - storage capacity is up to you - just chose something that will give you a decent amount of game/vod storage!

Not too sure about a case as I'm more performance over aesthetics, but I'm sure someone else could recommend a very clean case!

Oh and having a second monitor is always helpful so you can look at chat/OBS while you stream - if you don't want to splash out then a 1080p 60Hz monitor is more than enough for reading chat. Having a second monitor is more quality of life than anything else tbh so don't get it if you don't feel you need it!
