Streaming dedicated pc

[jonathanperkins17]

Looking to put together a streaming Only rig, have no intentions on running any sort of games. I’ve heard that GPUs are not required for streaming dedicated builds, but I’ve been told that I may have problems running obs. My budget is $700 but could do $900 if really needed. I want to be able to run a stream with the cam, overlays, etc, without issue.

Personally would go for intel as looks like has better performance as clocks higher.
But with the Ryzen you can overclock.
Pick your poison 😀

One example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_BhisnUNpU
No GPU is fine if you are streaming from console.

OP asked:

The video that you dropped below on a thread I started earlier was one that I had came across ironically. I took that build and modified it towards my price budget and came up with this. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wTh36X I will be streaming off console, so will I be able to operate obs without having a gpu?

I will actually get 1700 instead of 1700X as it come with a decent stock cooler, and can easily OC to 1700X or better. A very good read by James Mason: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3398995/gpu-console-streaming.html
For Ryzen you will need a cheap GPU to display properly while Intel has IGPU in the CPU

PSU is no good.
