What Components Should a Streaming PC have?
To support the newest AAA games and simultaneous 1080p streaming, you'll need a high-spec build with lots of processing power. The right gaming PC specs will help you keep up with intensive demands and will enhance your gaming performance.
Processor (CPU)
If you want to stream top-performance games at 30FPS consistently, you'll need a powerful processor. Ideally, you should go for a six-core CPU, like ourIntel Core™ i7 Gaming PC.
If the budget allows, an eight-core CPU like theAMD Ryzen 7 will execute even highly intensive tasks flawlessly.
For a more budget-friendly option, an Intel Core i5 Gaming PC will be just as reliable, though not as highly performant in terms of graphics.
Graphics card (GPU)
When playing your favourite games and streaming at high frame rates and resolutions, having a top-quality graphics card is a no-brainer. We recommend PCs equipped with dedicated graphics cards such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX series. Specifically look for the RTX 3080 Ti or the RTX 3090 for the smoothest possible gaming experience and fluid streaming graphics.
Storage
A good streaming PC will also need lots of additional storage. This is not just for the games themselves but also for the stream recordings, streaming software or video-editing apps, so you can showcase your most memorable gaming moments on your platform of choice.
A high-capacity SSD drive should do the job just fine, however ideally you should include flexible storage options (e.g. both an HDD and an SSD drive). If you don't have the budget right now, you can easily add long-term storage upgrades further down the line.
What Other Streaming Accessories Do I Need?
If you want to build a consistent audience on Twitch, Youtube, or Facebook Gaming for your gaming content, you'll need the right accessories as well.
Streamer Camera
Streamers that show themselves on camera tend to build a more dedicated fanbase, as they have an easier time connecting to the audience. A studio-quality web camera will massively improve your video quality, so make sure to add one to your streaming setup.
Streaming Microphone
A highly performant dedicated microphone for amazing audio streaming quality should be a part of every professional streamer's toolkit. They don't require breaking the bank but will make a huge difference in how you sound to your audience.
Gaming Headset
To become fully immersed in your favourite games, consider adding a gaming headset to your streaming set-up. Whether you opt for a wired or wireless gaming headset, you'll enjoy crisp audio not just from your game but also from your fanbase chat.
Why Choose a Streaming PC?
When you buy a streaming PC, you can be confident that each part has been carefully chosen to enhance your streaming abilities as much as possible. You'll enjoy an optimal frame rate, high-resolution video quality, as well as a lag and freeze-free gaming experience from the start to the end of your stream.
High-end streaming PCs are also fully equipped to support a wide range of games, from cosy indie titles and fantasy MMORPGs to graphic-intensive games like competitive shooters and flight simulators.
