Dedicated Stream PC

[Zachary_40]

Hello I am wanting to build a Dedicated Stream PC using NDI plugin for OBS-- Is this Part list good enough to run my Streams at 720p 60fps https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Hollowfies32/saved/2zN7hM

Grab more RAM. 4GB is EXTREMELY low. Get 8GB at the very least, if not, 16GB. Keep it at DDR4.

Consider using a modern i7 CPU or an AMD Ryzen CPU. Streaming requires a lot of work on the CPU, so it's recommended that you get a powerful CPU.

I am not sure if graphics cards are required in a streaming PC, but I believe they relieve video-related work from the CPU.

Also note: To stream at 720p 60fps, you need to have a fast enough upload speed. Above 6mbps upload speed should be good enough for 720p 60fps.

Hope this helped!

^ mostly correct

What is your budget? From streaming, that will struggle.

4GB is enough for dedicated streaming PC (i tried with 2GB and just my CPU couldnt handle 1080P that would be an Q6600), and as your motherboard has one lan port, both PC's need 2 lan ports to ensure fastest transfer speed, as the encoding will be done by CPU mostly it would be a good choice.
