Processor
Keep in mind that your PC needs to be powerful enough to handle the games you plan on playing in addition to streaming them.
While streaming requires additional CPU cores, thankfully games generally use just a few powerful cores.
Not all user workflows are the same though, so be sure and contact us for an optimized configuration.
Memory
The amount of memory you will need depends on the games you plan on playing and the resolution you’ll be streaming at.
A good starting point in deciding how much RAM you should go for would be to check your current usage via Windows Task Manager.
Graphics Card
The graphics card isn’t especially important for the streaming process, it is important for the games you’ll be streaming.
More powerful GPUs allow for higher resolutions and framerates, and smooth gameplay is critical for your audience.
Gaming and streaming do not require a workstation grade GPU (Nvidia Quadro or AMD Radeon Pro), and we would recommend a Nvidia GeForce card for optimal performance, stability, and value.
Storage
In the past, computers were held back by slow mechanical hard drives. Solid State drives should be used for the operating system and frequently accessed programs and files. Mechanical drives should only be used for extremely large files that are not used very often. Having everything stored on SSDs means your loading screens will be much shorter, and you’ll be able to open and save games very quickly. PC and program start times will be greatly reduced as well.
