Hello,

I'm looking to upgrade my PC for Streaming.
my current hardware:

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500 3.30GHz
Memory: 8 GB
Video Card: nVidia GeForce GTX 570
Motherboard: Gigabyte H67M-D2-B3

I wanted to know what is the best graphic card + cpu + ram I can buy.
 
Solution
defiantly, for streaming, the i7 3770 does far far better then all i5's, including your 2500. A GTX 770 (2GB) is beast even for 1080p, and for now exceptional for 720p as it will max out anything getting really high FPS.

With the GTX 770, Going with the 4GB version is pointless just a marketing gimmick.

For starters, The GTX 770 has a 256-bit memory bus which is designed for 2GB of Vram, not 4 so it is actually being limited and will never use the other 2GB. In games both the 2GB version and 4GB perform exactly the same with no advantages whatsoever by the 4GB.

Only advantage of the 4Gb version is if you have multiple screens, and even that there is only a small benefit as the memory bus is only meant for 2GB, and 128 Bit is meant...

I dont really have a budget, But currently while playing fps games and streaming, I cant even get 720p with decent gameplay.
That why I'm wondering, what can I do in order to get atleast 720p streaming and good gameplay in-game.
Will I see a difference in the streaming if I get :
CPU: Core i7-3770
GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 OC 4GB GDDR5

A i7 3770 with a GTX 770 2GB will be an exceptional upgrade and certainly worth it.
Later on I would get a better motherboard as the one you have is not the best.

Hope this helps you.
