Hi! I'm completely new to building computers guys! Recently I've been looking around trying to get an idea of what exactly is needed to stream to twitch with at least 720p resolution while still playing a game on the computer and or streaming from my Xbox one.
My internet speed isn't a problem as i have 100 down 10 up. I just need your guys' help building a computer capable of this.
Seeing as i don't know very much about computers it does not matter wether i'm running an AMD or an Intel setup. Which ever is going to be the most effective and not wear out within a year. I would like to be able to run a dual monitor setup if possible though.
I do not need an OS i have Windows 7 Premium ready to go, I will need at least 1 monitor though and a keyboard if possible. (the keyboard doesn't need to be anything phenomenal i can upgrade later, just need something functional!)
I know that i am asking a lot on an $850 dollar budget guys but i'm at the broke college kid status just looking to have a bit of fun with a new computer!! Thanks!

Already got you a keyboard and mouse gaming bundle :) And this pc is awesome for gaming and twitch streaming. I was in the same money situation as you a couple years ago and had a crap pc. But this PC is awesome for your budget. The PC will be $845.73 without monitor and $935.72 with monitor. Be sure to select best answer as it helps other people.
