Spec me - Stream PC Build

[Choaski]

So, looking to build a streaming PC for twitch, currently using an i5 4690k which, whilst is nice, it's also my GF's PC which I have stolen from here during the mornings.

What I want to build would be something that can handle medium presets but, in as small a case as possible and as cool as possible as to keep the room temps down and the PC out of sight.

Was thinking of going for a Ryzen 1800 build as they seem quite ideal for rendering machines which just sit there. All help possible is welcomed.

EDIT: Think this is in the wrong section... My bad, can it be moved?

How about this as a starting point? You could spend more in certain areas and change the case for example to suit your taste, but its is a basic Ryzen build which will be good for streaming.

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1700 3.70GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £329.99

I was along them lines to be honest, remove the 1TB / Change GPU for a single slot 1060gtx / never used Team Group Vulcan RAM so was looking at Dominator Plat (16GB) and as for a case / Enthoo Evolv ITX Mini-ITX just as it's aesthetically pleasing .

Originally, Was looking at rectangular boxes so I could put it under my gaming machine, IF possible, throw in an AIO.

Would it be worth waiting for new mobos for these? There doesn't seem to be that many options around at the moment (Going to wait a little while regardless as its a new arch for the CPU) Oh, would also get the X over non-X



Alternatively - I change up the 4690k for the i7, I feel the 1700X will provide much better performence on rendering though
