Hi Guys,

I mostly play league of legends and have just started to stream it on twitch now that I have a good internet connection.

My current Rig is;
•i5 2500k 3.30 sandy bridge (overclock to 4gig)
•Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Wind Force 3x OC Rev2.0 3072MB GDDR5
•Gigabyte z68ap-d3 intel z68 board
•Kingston hyper x genesis 8gig ram
•Corsair 650D case
•Corsair Enthusiast tx 650 v2 power sup
•Screen BenQ XL2420T 3d 144mhz

I can stream league of legends well but if I try play something like csgo I can feel the effect it has on my computer, game runs slower, brickly look on record/stream etc so I thought time for a new PC or maybe try and upgrade what I have.

The end result is I want to have 2 working screens on my PC without any lag issues while streaming/recording/editing without any problems.

I don't really have a budget since its going be on finance and I just want a new pc or upgrade that will do what I want.

I have already started to look at a new build idea which I would try and keep blue/white theme so its got to be the case I list below.

Do you want to re-use any parts from current rig?
Do you need 2 new monitors or 1 to go with your current 1?
Going Micro ATX doesnt give you many mobo options unfortunately. I'd avoid Asrock if possible. But then theres not many blue/white mobos.
 
I don't mind reusing any parts from my old rig if I am able to get what I want but I don't think I can.

I have 1 screen at mo I use the benq one and then I will get either a new one or use the old one.

if I can't keep a blue theme then that's ok.
 
Rather then jumping into a new PC have you made sure your streaming settings are setup correctly?
 
Maybe save some cash and drop a 2700k and overclock it a bit? The extra threads should hold up fine for playing the games you do whilst streaming
 
Have you checked your bandwidth settings? You'll want to reserve part for your streaming and part for the game itself.

This really.

I watch a lot of streamers which I'd say have "modest" rigs and the streams look fine.

What do you use to stream? A known bug/glitch with OBS is having the preview window open in the background which causes some lag/stuttery problems, minimising it removed them.

You would be spending a heck of a lot of money on a system to do something that will give you little to no return at all.
