[SOLVED] What do you recommend ?

[Ybgsav]

So listen , I want to have a pc for streaming purposes only , here and there I might play gta role play on the pc but that’s it ! The main thing I wanna do with the pc is stream from my console to obs with animated overlays ! I don’t play the type games the require 100’s of fps I enjoy playing sport games such as nba2k and madden , I also play warzone too ! But I was wondering would it be better to build a pc or buy a pre built if I’m on a 350$ budget , what do u suggest ? And another thing I want you to know is I’ve never had or built a pc !

If you want a PC "for streaming purposes only" it does not have to be expensive like a gaming PC...but your need to get a capture card.
A good capture card could eat half of your budget.

That budget is a bit tight, but can be done. You will need to focus on a CPU with decent integrated graphics. Forget about a GPU, at these times the prices are too high even for a cheap streaming build. I would recommend some Ryzen CPUs with integrated graphics, and a good PSU like corsair or seasonic. The rest can be cheaped out on easily.

I am assuming you have the mouse, keyboard, monitor, ethernet etc...

And for the OS you can buy the key online for cheaper.

This is slightly over your budget.

GTA 5 runs at 30-40 fps with the processor graphics alone and the GPU produces similar results so it isn't too bad for a stream, just a bit less appealing.

Yes...Elgato, Plugable, AVerMedia, etc...

Since the system will be used for streaming a dedicated GPU is not required. The integrated GPU on the 3200G will do.

I have setup streaming PCs with 5th and 6th generation Intel CPUs...some of them even refurbished.

Ok so the stream will run at 1080p with my animated overlays right ?

Is there a spec on the pc I can pay more on to make it more appealing to the viewers ?

Could you elaborate about your streaming?
Which platform (e.g. Twitch) and quality (720p/60fps) are you trying to accomplish?
