I'm planning on upgrading my current gaming/streaming setup but I am not quite sure what would be the best next step for met to take. (current rig mentioned below)
Purchase whole new rig to stream + game? (Selling current rig for money to up my budget by probably €400, increasing total budget to €2000)
Have 2 rigs? (New rig for gaming and current for streaming.)
Just upgrade current rig?
Approximate Purchase Date: I'm willing to wait a couple of months if that means getting a better build.
Budget Range: 1500-1700€ (willing to spend €1800 if that means that I get a drastic boost in performance. Really worth the extra money.)
System Usage: streaming, gaming, editing, recording
Are you buying a monitor: In the future. I'll probably be buying a 1440p 165hz monitor. Fow now I'm satisfied with my 1080p 144hz monitor.
Do you need to buy OS: nope
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whatever is the cheapest here in the Netherlands and trustworthy. Probably sites like Megekko.nl, Alternate.nl, Azerty.nl, maybe amazon.de
Location: Netherlands
Overclocking: yes
Use: I mainly play Apex Legends and really want as many frames as I can get.
