so ive been searching high and low and cant seem to find an 'ideal' encoding pc build anywhere. Its easy to find best case scenario for a gaming build. And its easy to find "minimum" pc req.s for the stream pc. But what Would a best possible build for The encoding PC look like?

Thanks!

I'd say at least an i7-8700K, and at minimum either 16GB of RAM or 32GB of RAM. It's hard to recommend more than that right now given the unbelievably high cost of RAM these days.

That outlines minimums nicely. I've seen that. It doesn't really answer my question.
 
Don't understand your downvoting, that machine can easily handle 1080p 60fps streaming task as long as the capture card can catch up. it is not min requirement, I can still stream with 1st gen I5, just not very good fps. If you want most powerful, get threadripper. You didn't define best or ideal. In general more cores and faster single core are most important.

Yeah I think this needs a bit more narrow of a definition. The reason why you're probably not finding anything specific is because it's too broad of a question. Just typing "I need a gaming and streaming PC" could yield about 5 or 6 million results. Is there anything in particular you are looking for? Are you looking for an Intel build or an AMD build? Or something else like an i9 or Threadripper? How much are you looking to spend overall?

OK, i thought i was being fairly specific. with a dual pc streaming set up. What would be the best possible build for the encoding PC. As ive stated its very easy to find "minimum spec" builds,like vapour linked. But what would yield the best results?

I stream and game on a single PC using my current profile specs. I don't get any game lag or performance issues of any type.
