Comment on my dual PC build.

[j.abuy]

Hello, I would like the forum to comment on my dual PC gaming/streaming rig on how I can improve it. I want to be able to stream 1080p or higher with 60fps. Games that I am planning to stream are games such as CSGO, Fortnite, Dead by Daylight, The Forest and League of Legends.

Gaming PC Specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G
- CPU Cooler: DeepCool Captain 360Ex
- GPU: GTX 1070 8GB
- RAM: 16GB 3000MHz

Streaming PC Specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 1700
- CPU Cooler: Enermax ETS
- GPU: GTX 750 (I really don't know if GPU is really needed)
- RAM: 16GB 2400MHz
- Game Capture: Elgato HD60 Pro

Please comment on what should I change or what can I add in order to meet the requirements I want. Thank you for your help!

I want a dual PC Setup in order to avoid a lot of usage on the CPU and get better performance when streaming.

This setup will do both to your satisfaction. I'm telling you a dual setup isn't going to be better.

Thank you for your addition! Seems tempting to do this instead. Thing is I wanted to go for a dual pc Setup in order to avoid a lot of usage on the CPU and have better performance overall.

For those games a single ryzen 7 2700x based system will be more than fine.

Yeah I figured my specs where an overkill to stream the games I want to stream. Thank you for the advice!

8 cores and 16 threads are plenty for streaming and gaming simultaneously. There will be a minimal loss in overall FPS, but still very high in all of those games.

Thank you so much! Alright, I'll send you a private message when the build is all done. Thank you once again for your information!

You can perfectly fine get away with a cheaper b450 board as the x470 won't give you anything extra you'll use and then get a gtx 1070ti which will help you in games.

Possible but with the 105w 2700x you want a decent VRM
