If you didnt know, I'm becomign a streamer for competitive tf2.
In need of a PC Upgrade.
Note: This is NOT a GAMING PC, its a streaming PC. That means a good cpu, and hardrive, and wirless connection abblity.

Couple Things
*Will be Using OBS. To Twitch
3500 KBS
128x720
60 FPS

*Will be Playing TF2 Only
Source Game
CPU Hog

*Needs to do multiple tasks, and good broadband connection
*OBS
*Stream Configuration
*Good Connection

Price Range (can be adjusted): 800-1000
Feel free to post links of parts, or general builds themselfs.
Thanks
Kate

good news, a tf2-gaming pc and a streaming pc match up to be pretty similar. tf2 is a CPU hog, and (at least, in comparison to its CPU usage) it doesn't requires all that bulky of a graphics card, so as a general rule you want a CPU that can handle both obs and tf2 at the same time and a good mid-range graphics card

If this is a upgrade, you should post your current PC so we can suggest which parts to upgrade. If this budget is to build a new PC for the streaming only and you already have a gaming PC, maybe think about building a second PC for the purpose of streaming video from your current PC.

Hey Katie, I wanted to add you for other reasons. Your profile states that you want people to comment why they're adding you, but I can't do that.

I really need mod rights to move these things into the PC Build Thread.

KatieThat means a good cpu, and hardrive, and wirless connection abblity.

Good CPU I understand, good HDD not so much.
Also wired >>>> wireless.

Katie*Needs to do multiple tasks, and good broadband connection

Multiple tasks as in Stream + Game at the same time or something else as well?
A pc won't improve your internet connection. Either you already got good broadband or you don't, whether you've got a toaster or a 5000$ pc won't change that.

As #5 already mentioned, overclocking yes or no?

Is this an upgrade or a new build from scratch? See #9.
