hello i bought a rig around 18 months ago its still a good computer but now id like to start streaming my question is do any of you guys know what would be the best tower set up for it.

I know a lot to the streamers use a 2 towers in a dual system one for gaming and one for the visual

id like my setup to be powerful enough so that when i do go live it looks smooth and high quality

i have a decent budget to get myself setup with so if you could throw me some specs an recommendations on what you would do with a couple of price ranges

it would be much appreciated

they are the specs on my original tower i have just copy and pasted everything over from the invoice i got from when i purchased

i did have a price range of around 5-6000 in mind to begin with but ive been informed to slight lower the specs an see how i get on with the streaming side of things to begin with as that would be top end gaming an streaming towers so im not to sure on a price range to be honest.

at the moment i am just trying to piece everything together as a project that im thinking will take me 4-6 motnhs till i have everything in place. So once we have a set-up in mind with prices when i come to order we may need to just make a few tweeks but nothing major
 
I'm not very in the know of hardware so would both towers be getting used or is this all just running through one ? as if its both towers am more than willing to drive down to you guys an drop my old tower off so you could do the upgrades on it.

I have picked out 3 new monitors still unsure if i want to wall mount them or just leave them on the stands and a tv for the console gaming side witch willl be wall mounted (all depends on what the new house is ive got in mind how i want the house setup somthing witch is also big enough to use the HTC Vive).
the other added extras ive kind of selected like keyboard, mouse , webcam and audio
 
that video has confused me more as im not very up to date with th hardware lingo or the majority of the software side either.

i am pretty sure most streamers use the intel i7 but the run at 900p instead of 1080p as is much clearer an runs smooother
