streaming pc build cost?

[Deleted]

Hello lovely computer nerds
I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate on how much it would cost to build a pc that could handle streaming 1020p 25man raids on ultra settings in wow, with no hiccups or issues?
thanks for the help

Well, an i7-4770k would be the key element. Best i7 out at the moment(if we don't count extreme CPUs of last gen) and it just came out.

For GPU, a 670 would be nice if you are building an entirely new PC.


Ps. Not sure if you want a PC that encodes the stream only or a PC that does encoding + game

if you really mean without ANY fps drops and a good framerate (consistently 60+) it's quite a big deal.
to accomplish this you don't even require an "uber" gaming pc (highly oc'd sandy/ivy bridge), but a capturecard for another pc dedicated to streaming/encoding, which has to be decent aswell. otherwise you'll be bottlenecked by your cpu.
and yes, 1080p streaming is that stressful.


tl;dr: 1500€+ for 2(!) beasty computers and a capture card. 1 for gaming, 1 for encoding.
