Twitch Streaming Hardware

[chroniclard]

Looking to upgrade my sons PC so he can have a go at Twitch streaming, wondering what sort of specs would comfortably do it. Would like to stream at 1080p.

Currently
3570K
8GB RAM
AMD 390 card

Thinking something like this would be plenty
2600(or 2600X)
16GB ram
1070Ti

May get him a 1440p monitor too so 1070Ti should be sufficient for that just wonder at any Twitch overheads slowing things down too much.

Obviously needs a mic and a good webcam/camera.

Some good options there, thanks. Didnt think about a video capture card, looks a good bet. If I went new board/CPU route I think I would go with Ryzen+.

However I already have 2 x 1070ti's in my mining rig so would probably give him one of those.
