[SOLVED] Dedicated Streaming PC for a friend

[IndyAJD]

Hey guys,

A friend of mine is interested in getting a 2nd PC for streaming. He's willing to spend a decent amount ($600-800) but wouldn't mind spending a little less. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure he's looking to stream at a decently high quality, so I've tried to find some balance with this build. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/z8cJDx

Thanks, and let me know what you think!

Why an 8th gen intel cpu?
a new i5, or ryzen 5 would be the same or better.
also cheaper.

Otherwise, this is a pretty solid machine, though does a streaming machine need 16gb of ram?

also, a 1tb hdd would be nice for keeping fottage for maybe uploading highlights or uploading full streams down the line.
