Streaming recommended setup

Autocon487 · Oct 5, 2018

I was wondering if I should change my monitor from a 60hz to either a 120hz or 144hz monitor for gaming and streaming. However I also want to upgrade my cpu to a ryzen 7 1700.

Which should come first for better performance.

current specs: Monitor: HP Pavilion 21.5-Inch IPS LED HDMI VGA Monitor (22cwa)
GPU: Gigabyte G1 Geforce GTX 1060 6gb
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0ghz 8-core

Might use the 60hz monitor as a second monitor but not entirely sure yet.

You'll want to upgrade your CPU but for the new Ryzen CPU's you'll need to change your motherboard (AM4) and RAM (DDR4) to use them.

What's your budget for upgrading?

Perfect, the next steps I would take once you get the new parts installed, clean install of OS, maybe some overclocking & motherboard drivers up to date is playing/streaming your games at 1080P with vsync off. If the FPS exceeds 120 or so then I would look into a faster monitor, if not I would keep your current one for now.

Although that should be a solid streaming build so I would expect the FPS to be fairly high if you don't mind medium-ish settings.

Alright thanks. should I get a 144hz monitor?

Depends on the games your playing, if your playing more FPS then I'd go for a 1080P/144hz however if your playing less competitive games and if they support 21:9 I would look at a 2560x1080P/75hz/IPS. The IPS will give you much better colors and the 21:9 is a bit more immersive but if you do look at 21:9 monitors I'd recommend the 29" or bigger as the 25" is too small.
