Yep, with that you’ll get maybe even to be able to stream at 1080p.

My only recommendation is to not stream fortnite, unless you’re insanely good and people’s jaws will drop when they see you play- or your’e really funny. Fortnite has a few thousand streamers on twitch at one time, because it’s so popular. If you aren’t already popular, it might be hard.
 


Yeah i'm both. The answer you gave was the answer I was expecting form this site. People were going to say "That is an expensive setup" or " You have to be good or funny to stream Fortnite". But what I want to know is there any sort of Bios I have to install for the CPU to run in the board or some other obscure mistake with this setup. I am pretty sure it will all work together, but I just want to make sure before I spend 5K on a new computer. The reason I am asking is because most streamers have 2 computer to run their streams and I just want one to run everything.
 
Before anything, I have some suggestions for your setup :

  • Don't buy this chair. I have a similar chair. You can't recline your back support. Try something like this.

    I had Red Dragon KB and mouse, and they are not great. Best keyboards for me are Corsair. You can remap all keys.
Your setup is great for streaming Fortnite even in 1080p. It's even a bit overkill. Watch this video by LinusTechTips for more info about single PC streaming. You can try the 2 VM setup mentioned in this video, but I don't think you need an Unraid thing.

Edit: Don't forget to buy an amp/dac for your headphones. Like this one. Without it, sound from your 250 ohm headphones will be horrible.
 


Excuse me correcting myself, the GPU that I am going to get is a 1080. Not a 1080ti. Is this still enough? And thanks for your input, the only thing I am worried about is frames dropping because I am running the stream and gaming at the same time. The parts I am most concerned about is the CPU and GPU. Btw, thanks for your input on the Red Dragon mouse, keyboard, and the chair, I will look into others.

Well, I'm still on edge about the 1080 or 1080ti. Is it worth paying like $400 to $500 more for the 1080ti. I don't mind paying more, it's just I don't want to overspend, or not spend enough and make my stream terrible. Btw, I updated my monitors to say that I want to purchase two Asus 144hz monitors. Does this change anything?
 


Well, I bought a used 1080ti for 700cad (513usd) and it's running well. GPU has no effect on streaming performance. In the case if someone wants 2 PCs where one is for gaming only, you don't even need a gpu in the second pc.

1080ti would be better in the case if you want to play or to stream other games. If you buy a 144hz monitor, you would want to play games in 240fps and ultra settings. Therefore, you will need a 1080ti or even a better one. But you will be okay if you will only play fortnite.

Idk why you need two 144hz as secondary monitors. Ofc, if you are planning to play on all 3, ex: racing simulator or some other game, then it's ok. However, if these two monitors are just for browsing and checking twitch chat, you don't need 144hz. You are better buying two 1440p monitors.

Also, look into ultrawide monitors, like this one. You can use one sideways for twitch chat and one for gaming. You can also add a normal monitor to the mix. Ultrawide monitors are the best. I have one as the main monitor (29" but I want a bigger one) and I don't want to change. A little tip, if you buy an ultrawide that is bigger than 29", you need it in 1440p cause it will not look great in 1080p.
