Minimum price for good streaming pc?

[liamhart2002]

Hello! My current PC can not stream what so ever, and I need suggestions for a new one. Now currently, I don’t have all the money in the world. I want to hear some opinions on the minimum cost for a streaming and gaming PC, while still retaining good quality. Also, please let me know all of the parts and the total cost or link me to a prebuilt PC. I’m not an expert of computers by any means. Thanks for the help!

I would say around 1000$ will be default. you can get maybe 750$, but it will loose some value.

It SHOULD handle what you want around 750$ price point, still you should insert: 2600 or 2600X AND 16 GB of ram for reliable streams. this will end up around 950$

Thanks for the answer! With all of this being said, what kind of quality am I looking at for the stream, and could it edit YouTube videos?

Watch this. And yes, the answer is a Ryzen 2600(x), 16 Gb of decent ram, and a budget video card, with an OS ssd and a bulk storage drive.

Adjust components to suit budget, and parts from your current PC you can recycle.
Posted video link you could see for yourself the results.
With a bigger budget, 2700x, as much gpu as you can afford, etc.
At the stated budget? 2600(x) plus the above, all day long.

There are tons of productivity benchmarks around as well.

any PC can it will just take 10x time on some builds that the other. I recommended you to Ryzen 2600 just for video editing speed.

This parameter is in "Workstation" group and 2600 is twice as fast for Video editing than 1300X. Both can do it, with same other part 2600 will just finish in 30 min what will take 1300X an hour.
