Cheapest streaming PC. Stream with high quality?

I'm currently looking for a PC to stream with. Or someone can tell me which components are needed.

! The PC is only there for streaming! (my desktop might still stream from my pc but no games)

so as you can imagine now I'm playing on the console (PS4).

I want to set up layouts, transitions, alerts etc for my stream…

The PC should do that without problems, in any case 1080p and no slow start-up of programs and windows (as I said, not slow but also not fast)

Unfortunately, my budget is limited to 500 euro approx.

would like to keep the costs as low as possible because I would then have to put other things like recording device (elgato), standing microphone etc…

Gladly suggest PCs, maybe even more clever individual, important and necessary components.

I'm grateful for every tip and every answer.

Ryzen 5 3600, Ryzen 3 3300X, used Ryzen 7.

16GB RAM

GPU don't care. Would throw in ne used 750ti.

B450 mainboard.

400Watt power supply.

250gb ssd.

Housing of your choice.

Luckily, video encoding is nothing super demanding.

A simple PC with R5 3400G and 8GB RAM in dual-channel should also manage 1080p with higher bit rates.

In addition, a small SSD (SATA or SATA M.2 is sufficient) for your operating system, OBS and other programs 240GB should be enough.

Then a corresponding capture card and your streaming PC is ready

It's just there to gamble…

I don't understand the original haha, don't know my way around…

You need:

Processor: Ryzen 5 3400G
Ram: 2 * 4GB DDR4 3200 or more
Matching mainboard with B450 chipset
Cheap SSD with 240GB storage
300W power supply
Housing where everything fits
Capture card

Ok that tells me a bit more, it's so complicated, I don't even know where to start… So I don't even know which case everything fits where.

You are welcome. In your 500 euro budget, I've even included a PCIe capture card.

It's a bit overkill for streaming only. For FHD it makes no sense to take more than a 3400g, that also saves the dedicated GPU and if it has to be really cheap an Athlon 200GE would do the job.

ma

Better to play it safe. I wouldn't trust the Athlon, but the 3400G would.

Thank you!

Ne cheap option to assemble a pc at mifcom?

Za

Mifcom is expensive per se.

And finished PCs are very often anything but cheap, especially in the low budget class.

With the self-construction you would save at least 100 euro and you would have a PC that is perfectly tailored to your requirements.

There are enough good YouTube tutorials for the assembly

Za

The Athlon would do that too, although I would fall back on a slim Linux with LXQT desktop for the benefit of performance and no programs should be running in the background. Since there's no requirement to play on the same PC, more than a 3400G doesn't really make sense.

You can also order a 300-400 euro config from hardware council. But building yourself is always possible! And in the low budget area this is especially true, better.

Re

Sorry, but the computer is not really suitable for gaming let alone gaming and streaming
