this is the one reason i'm afraid to get a webcam if i start streaming

thanks for the replies, also looked at some performance list for cpus and the top was just pages of intel so i was like ok maybe i should change over

wondering if http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/motherboardbundles/mbb-35708a.html is a good bundle/worth it/would be decent for streaming

occassionally you get some invite players going 2 scouts 2 soldiers

thanks guys, upgraded my mb recently so i upgraded to ddr3 ram when i did that

using chris' highframes atm i think, doesn't often go below 60 besides on crowded pubs occasionally

so i've been thinking about starting a stream, but i'm pretty sure my PC is way too outdated to handle it. was wondering if anyone could give some advice on what needs upgrading/recommendations on what to get or anything that'd help with streaming

specs atm are

hd4870 512mb
athlon ii x4 640 3.0ghz
4 whole gb of ram
a 600w power supply

i'm not really up-to-date with pc parts but i'm sure these aren't that great, i drop below 60fps sometimes normally so i doubt they'd be good for streaming

i'm new to streaming please help ty
