$1000 streaming build?

[Mike3k24]

My friend wants to be a twitch streamer and stream games like GTA 5 and Witcher 3. What would this build look like? He will only be streaming in 1080p if the budget allows it, if not then 720p

Does he have anything useable? Case/monitor/keyboard/mouse/webcam/cpu cooler?

he'd need a gtx1070, and an overclockable i7 + 16gb of ram, if he wants to stream in hd. if he's streaming in low quality 480p then a stock i5 and a gtx970/rx480 should be enough.

He has a monitor and keyboard and a cheap webcam already.

Another build bit better cpu lower gpu

 

[Supahos]

Would make a 6700 build but it gets iffy if I cut any more off the gpu if he could stream and play both at 1080

I guess this is a third option. Any should do the trick all have some budget limited weaknesses

 

[Mike3k24]

Pretty good build. I think he'll go with the i7 build for what it's capable of and its multitasking help.

 

[Supahos]

Should do a fine job for him
