Could not find more relevant sub-forum to ask this.
For a while I wanna start streaming but my income is low to build a beast.
I have fairly decent gaming PC but it cannot do both things as it makes me sacrifice too much quality..
I managed to get my hands on some cheap rig that could be used for streaming at decent quality:
FX 8300
2x4 GB DDR3
Mobo with on-board GPU.
Got the whole thing for around 200$ with 400w PSU, monitor and hard drive. Cheaper than any upgrade that would be relevant for my system.
I wanna use capture card but I really have no idea what should I look for in it apart from HDMI.
Heard some cards can cause screen tearing in some cases, I really have no room for mistakes.
My budget is like 50-80$, and since I bought this rig used I do not hesitate to buy used stuff if seller has good ratings, so used capture card can be considered too.
I appreciate any suggestions you can give, from links to items to explanations what should I look for.
Thank you!
Edit:
So I kinda narrowed it down to Ezcap294 that seems to can handle 1080p 60FPS, doubt my CPU will be able to deliver that as I should be able to get better quality with around 800-900p on 60fps, but having that room makes it sound like a safe bet.
Second choice is bit more expensive but I could stretch it if first one is bad.

I am not interested in 4K aspect, just wanna smooth experience.
Also read some conflicting posts where one claims iGPU is as good and can deal with minor tasks, some claim that each class of GPU has it's own encoder and getting any in such class will do, suggestion was to get 1050 but that is out of my reach, best I could do now is 7750
