[SOLVED] Cheap stream pc

[callelopez0722]

I have a small budget, right now I’m trying to build a stream pc at least 720 30fps, (ndi from my gaming pc to stream pc)

My gaming pc is a i5 8600k 4,7oc
1050 ti g1
16gb ram DDR4 3000 oc
(Since I’m playing competitive 144fps)

The cpu I picked is the
X5650,
I don’t know what motherboard yet but my budget is 200$ usa to buy the cpu, motherboard and ram because I have a pc case, an 500 psu and a old Quadro gpu (i think it’s enough since I’m not planing to stream with gpu)

Help? Do you think that Xeon works at least of what cpu would be better since my budged is small?

The i5 8600k is stronger than the x5650, so that would be a downgrade. I would just upgrade the GPU in your computer, since the gtx 1050 isn't that strong today. With your budget of around $200, I would either go with the RX 580 or the gtx 1660 (you can get one from msi for $210).

However, if you don't want to do that and get a new cpu/mobo completely, I would go with ryzen, since amd's chips have better streaming performance.

I know the i5 that I’m using is strong but fro competitive with the 1050 ti g1 i can get the 144 stable, the Xeon is for dedicated second streaming pc

Also, based on this, if you can spend an extra $20, I would go with the Ryzen 5 1600 AF, which is pretty much a ryzen 5 2600 for $85. It uses 12nm like Zen+, but is labeled as a first gen chip.
