Hey all,

Before I go out and purchase this PC through Best Buy, I would like to know whether or not it will seamlessly stream to Twitch and render videos for YouTube? I am a Xbox gamer and capture with an Elgato Game Capture HD. Any and all feedback is appreciated! I have provided the link to the PC on Best Buy's website below

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavilion-desktop-8gb-memory-2tb-hard-drive/1682356.p?id=1219060353967&skuId=1682356

Approximate Purchase Date: This Month

Budget Range: $500-600

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Videos (Recording, Editing, Rendering, etc.), Streaming, Light Gaming (Minecraft, Garry's Mod, etc.), General Use, etc.

Location: Tampa, Florida, US

Overclocking: Maybe, not sure how.

Your Monitor Resolution: Currently using a HDTV for my PC and a gaming monitor for my Xbox

Additional Comments: PC not necessarily used for gaming, mainly to create content and for general use.

Thanks,
Marv

I'm not so sure it would. I don't think 8 gigs of ram on an A8 processor would render too effectively. I am certain you would need more RAM and I would also suggest a graphics card that isn't integrated.

If you're rendering, recording and streaming at the same time, this PC will not keep up. I would suggest a custom AMD homebuilt PC for that price. If interested I can throw one together real quick for a suggestion.

That would be awesome, I'm trying to get the most bang for my buck.
I don't necessarily need a rig for PC gaming, I'm a console gamer just looking to make videos and stream.

This build should be able to take care of everything you listed and then some.
It's a little over budget but I didn't want to cut your graphics card down too low since you'll actually be needing it decent.
