I have been streaming on and off for the past 3-4 months and im not very happy with the outcome of my streams its not the quality or anything its the performance. I have messed with the settings for a while and i got a good setting setup now but my performance is struggling so what im want to know is what do you guys reckon i should upgrade.

Also i know internet plays a key factor in streaming but im covered there.

Below is my pc specs:

Processor: AMD FX - 4100 quad core 3.60 GHz
Ram: 8.00 GB
Graphic card: XFX Radion HD 6850

tbh dude, the 4100 is a bad processor, my 965BE overclocked to 3.8ghz out performs it in a lot of tests... get a 6300 and a 7850 and your set for the next year or so!

yea i would, both your cpu and gpu are very much budget components...

the 6300 can be overclocked to around 4.5ghz, ok its no i5, but its a bloody quick cpu for around £100 and a 7850 for around £125 is a great investment... that system would murder my 965/560 rig with a chainsaw!

enjoy xD

How about a Capture/Streaming card like the AverMedia Live Gamer HD C985.
