Hi People,

So I'm new to the site but I've seen some very helpful info on here and I need help.

Recently I bought a pretty good Dell laptop in my opinion. It has an i7, 12G of Ram, 1TB HD, and 256GB SDD.

I was hoping to use this PC to use an Elgato and a PS4 to record and also livestream with OBS

Well, after many tests, I've realized it's not working too well. I can record with great bitrates and I can live stream with great bitrates as well. The problem is when live streaming I believe the Laptop gets too hot and after about 20min it begins to lag really bad and I have constant disconnections to Youtube server. My internet connection is good. 80mbps download speed. 90mbps upload.

So basically...I was hoping you guys could recommend me a good Desktop PC for recording, livestreaming, and editing gameplay. I don't really need a gaming PC because I will always be using a console. But it does need to be able to capture from elgato on obs and record/livestream fluidly. Thanks guys.

As for price, I was hoping to keep it under $1,500.
 
Solution
Blast it with compressed air, replace the thermal paste in it and get a laptop cooler or something to prop it up so it can suck in air with no obstructions.

Try this, if that doesn't work that. I'd say it's time to build the tower.
