Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Building A $1000 Streaming PC – Stream Test”.
It’S no secret that I do. A lot of high-end builds on the channel, which I’m sure a lot of you guys are familiar with, and then I do. The occasional budget builds, but I’ve never actually built a streaming PC before until today. So this is gon na. Be a mid-range streaming PC! That’S gon na cost you around a thousand dollars and if you’re lucky enough, you might take this home.
That’S why guys, there’s gon na be a giveaway on this exact same PC. All the parts that you see on this table are gon na, be given away to one lucky subscriber and it’s actually worldwide. So if you want to find out how to enter stick around all right, so let’s take a look at the parts starting with the CPU. This is a screamin PC, so we do need extra pours in here.
The 2700 X is perfect for the job, with its six cores and twelve threads. This is M the second generation CPU and it offers more optimization and performance than last gen when you’re screaming you’re. Also encoding and doing multiple things at once, so a higher core count will help you in that right now, the 2600 X offers a lot of performance for the money pairing it with the right. Motherboard is also very important.
You can’t cheap out. So that’s why we’re going with the MSI B? 450 tomahawk. This board supports second generation, rising chips and it’s great for for clocking because of the extended heatsink design and seven power phases. It also has four RAM slots and m-dot to support the cool thing about the v4 50 boards is that they now come with AMD store, mi, which is equivalent to Intel’s, obtain memory, so check this out guys.
This is what I mean: we’re gon na be combining the 2 terabyte drive from Seagate, with the 240 gigabyte SSD from HyperX into one single drive with SSD speeds. This way, you’re gon na have high-capacity storage space of a hard drive with SSD speeds, and this is gon na boot. Your PC faster, it’s gon na transfer files faster and, more importantly, your games are gon na load faster. So when you’re streaming, you’re not gon na be experiencing any long load times and also no stuttering or lagging because your games, I’m gon na, be running off of a drive with SSD speeds. We’Re gon na try and squeeze as much performance as we can out of the CPU. So that is why we’re going with an a IO time around he Coolermaster ml 240 will get the job done, and it’s gon na look pretty doing it program we’re going with 16 gigs, which is plenty for gaming, but it’s also gon na help out when streaming Now, if you guys are just building yourself a gaming PC, then a gigs is more than enough, but, however, we are building a streaming pc. Hence why the additional ram is gon na help out multitasking will be a lot smoother and quicker. Thus screaming will benefit from it as well.
The extra gigs of ram will also benefit anyone using programs like editing software or even graphic design. So this is a 1080p streaming PC in order to get at least 60 FPS. While streaming, we do need an Oryx 580. The msi rx 580 mech Edition has one of the highest clock speeds out of the box: 1.3 4 gigahertz core and 1.3 840 boost clock, plus it looks really cool.
I think it’s gon na fit really well with the black and red color scheme that we are going with. I really like the red accents on the backplate powering. All the components is a 550 watt power supply from Coolermaster, and it is fully modular, so we’re only gon na be using the cables that we need to minimize the cable clutter and keep the PC looking very clean. I mean the power supply, and most of the cables are gon na be hidden anyway, is underneath the PSU shroud from the case. So, overall, it’s gon na look really clean inside, so I’m gon na be using the TD 500 from coolermaster, because it’s such a good-looking case. It also comes with three RGB fans already installed and an extra 120 millimeter fan in the back. You get all this for less than $ 100.
That’S a really good deal so yeah. These are all the parts I’m gon na be using in my streaming, build, let’s put it all together and see what it can do: [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], hey guys. Welcome back to my stream. Today we are playing csgo. We have a total viewer count of 0, I’m streaming to myself. Obviously, but the sake hit the video. So, let’s just play csgo and see how I do actually I’m gon na start off with practicing with bots. You know I really like the the ow. Oh see that clutch anyways, guys I’m screaming in 1920 by 1080p at 60fps.
Do you recommended okay Wow? I am so bad at this game. Jesus, Oh even the OBS recommends around 3,500 for the bitrate, but I decided to update to 6000 just because 3500 doesn’t look that good. It looks very pixelated, so the higher the bitrate is the sharper your video is or your stream is so instead of keep it at 6,000. Oh damn nobody has touched me.
I look at. I have 100 HP and a hundred armor I thought medium BOTS would be a little challenging. Oh, oh, I’m really excited killing BOTS.
So hey guys! This is max settings 2560 by 1440 P, I’m getting well over 200 FPS in-game, but I’m actually outputting to the stream. In 1080p, at 60fps also one thing to know guys: the stream that you’re watching is not the same quality as what’s being shown on my monitor. Obviously, the quality is gon na look a lot less through the stream, but so far no stuttering no lagging.
This is very smooth gameplay, it’s actually hovering between hundred sixty to 220 fps and 2k resolution. That is not bad with these with these specs, oh so I overclock the CPU to 4.2 gigahertz at one point: three: seven, five volts alright, so this is csgo. Obviously, a less demanding title, so let’s go switch to something a little more demanding like fortnight. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, now it’s time for some fortnight, you get to see me failed miserably in here.
I’M actually a lot worse than fortnight than I am at csgo. Believe it or not, so this time we change the settings a bit. We are down to 1080p instead of 2k. Just because I want to hit well over 60 fps and 2k resolution, I was getting anywhere from 40 to 45 FPS, which isn’t that good to me. So that’s why I lowered it to 1080p.
Just so. The game plays a lot more smoother and we’re getting a lot higher frames, yeah, guys overall, very smooth, gameplay, no stuttering, no lagging some really nice frames anywhere from 60 to 80 fps, I’m very impressed. So far with this PC, it’s also right. Next to me I know if you guys can tell, but there is no side panel as well. So if you guys can’t hear any fan noise, then your viewers, watching your scream, won’t be able to hear any fan noise as well. It’S gon na be a long run and I don’t feel like running halfway across the map.
So I think it’s time to move on to the next game. Let me just open up his chest, actually real, quick, hi guys. Finally, the last game we are testing is pop G. We are 1920 by 1080 and we are high using high settings. It was getting late at the office, so I took the PC back at home and this is the next day, which is why the background is a little different and I’m also wearing a different shirt. So this game is the most demanding out of the three games that I’ve been playing and so far we’re going pretty good frames in the sky, we’re getting around 90 to 80. But let’s see what we’re getting when we actually land there’s. One thing I noticed, while playing pop G is every time I open up the inventory window like you can see the frames dip. So if I’m gon na be looting, for example, check this out, see that dips down for like 50 60.
It’S interesting and it’s like that, no matter what PC I use only when the inventory is open, not sure why otherwise indoors we’re actually getting high 80s low 90s and on the outside we’re getting also around 80, not bad, oh god, I’m dying here who the heck Is shooting me well, I can’t kill with the shotgun so I’m gon na get the hell out of here. I’M gon na die here there we go all right, so I think I embarrassed myself enough times for today. I think I’m just gon na stay away from a battle, royale games and stick to RPG and mobile games, because that is the only games, unfortunately, that I have good at but yeah.
Overall, I’m really happy with the way this turned out. That’S a really clean! Looking PC, but the MVP here, of course, is the case itself. I’M still surprised it’s going for around 70 $ 80 when it comes to three pre-installed RGB fans in the front, a single 120 millimeter fan in the back. It’S got a PSU shroud and a really dope, looking acrylic side panel, of course, you’re getting a lot of performance for the money as well. If you’re looking to spend around $ 1,000 for a solid gaming and streaming PC, then this is the configuration I recommend going with. The 2600 X is a beast CPU, especially once you overclock it to 4.2 gigahertz.
It’S gon na help you so much when it comes to encoding streaming or any multitasking really but yeah. What do you guys think about the PC? Let me know your feedback in the comment section down below.
