Build Advice Building a Mini dedicated live stream PC -- best options to build or buy prebuilt ?

[lamkinsanthony]

Over the years I have built many full sized PC's but I'm having issues with researching this one. I am looking to either build or buy a Mini PC that will be dedicated to live streaming (Twitch/Youtube) in a dual PC setup since I already own and play on my gaming PC. I would like it to be fully capable of handling full hardware encoding without bogging down. So essentially a little overkill is perfectly fine with me. I'd like to budget for $1k usd or less if I could. Anyone else out there mess around with this and find something that works for them?
