Looking to build 2nd PC Dedicated for Twitch Streaming

NibbsOfficial · Sep 29, 2016

I currently have a pretty solid gaming computer but off-loading the encoding to a 2nd rig would be a dream.

Is the right way to go is a low priced Xeon CPU with a low level Mobo, some DDR3 ram and call it a day?

Depends on your budget, and which Xeon you are looking at.

Sorry I should of included more details, I apologize.

I already have a few pieces:

Case
Powersupply (640 Watt)
CDROM Drive
MSI Gaming 7 Mobo (From an old build of mine)

Looking to spend up to like 500-600?

I don't know of any quality PSU's, at that wattage, so that will need replaced. Assuming that is a Z97 board here. You could just go with a 4790k, if you are not needing this for any kind of gaming, and use the integrated graphics.

Ah thanks for this

And yes this PC would be purely for encoding. Literally nothing else.
