Building My New Streaming PC #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin and today we're

building a streaming PC we've done a lot

of gaming PC builds over the years but

something you guys have always asked for

is a dedicated streaming box and what

we're going to be doing today actually

has three different criteria so first of

all we need a computer that can actually

play games the idea here is that not

only do we want to be able to stream

from this but we also want to be able to

play the games on it and stream all from

a single PC the second criteria is well

it actually has to be good at streaming

so my goal is to be able to play at aap

60 to be able to stream to places like

YouTube gaming and twitch at 1080p 60

thirdly we actually need to be able to

stream from other consoles as well as

record so a lot of times when we're

doing videos especially we're not even

going to do live streaming we need to

get some gameplay from stuff like a ps4

or even some older consoles and right

now we have to pull out another laptop a

bunch of capture equipment it's kind of

a pain however with this PC in addition

to be able to stream we are also going

to be able to capture gameplay so let's

actually see what we've got for the

system so these are the brand new AMD

second generation rising processors now

Indy was awesome enough to actually hook

us up with this to be able to do a video

on but there's actually a lot of reasons

why you might want to pick up a rising

processor for a build like this you guys

will probably be familiar with first

generation Rison this came out last year

and it really kind of changed the

desktop PC scene however with the second

generation AMD rising 7 desktop

processors it's going to be well just a

little bit better be honest it's not

gonna be a huge difference but what we

should expect is a little bit more

performance for about the same price so

who's gonna complain about that first of

all we have horizon 520 600 X so this is

going to be the 6 core 12 thread

processor or we can go all out with

Rison 7 this is going to

this is going to be the eighth course

sixteenth read part which we're going to

be using for this streaming bill and it

go along with our eyes and processors we

also have this giant velcro box oh and I

love that AMD goes completely all out on

the press kits we also get the asus rog

crosshair seven hero which is going to

be another x 470 motherboard and judging

by the half this is uh could be a big

one and last but not least we have a kit

of g.skill sniper X which is going to be

16 gigs at DDR 3400 so something

actually that is important to keep in

mind with rising processors is that

memory is important the most part most

memory is going to be compatible but the

faster memory is actually going to make

a fairly sizable difference wears a lot

of times on an Intel chip it's gonna be

a small thing it's mostly going from

single to dual channel but with rise in

this kind of fast stuff actually does

make a big difference so fast forward a

bit and we have the completed build

ready to go and as you can see there's a

lot of RGB now to be totally honest with

you I think once we actually get this a

little bit more dialed in I'm gonna

probably give it a little bit less

flashy but it looks good on camera and

that's the important part so this is the

corsair 5 70 x case now the main start

of the show here really is going to be

the tempered glass so now that do we

have a glass side panel but the top the

rear as well as the front are all

completely made out of tempered glass

and I've got to say especially pair with

all the RGB and the thankfully pretty

decent looking cable management thanks

to the actual room in the case I think

it looks pretty nice check off the side

panel and what you'll see is that the

case actually is not going to be too

busy inside I mean seriously

with a build like this normally I would

want to go for something like an

all-in-one loop or even just like a

bigger air cooler but consider this

comes in the box I really have no

complaints it's going to be more than

enough for what we need so in addition

to that Asus crosshair motherboard as

well as these 16 gigs if g.skill memory

we also do have an EVGA gtx 1070 now

because this is going to be a streaming

setup that is aimed at 1080p gaming and

I had a 1070 laying around and didn't

want to have to go buy a cinavia or

something I think we should be more than

good enough and as you guys will see

here in a little bit for gaming

performance at 1080 this has more than

enough power for storage we have a 500

gigabyte samsung 960 Evo SSD now as an

entry drive it's going to give us

plenty of performance and 500 gigs

should be enough for our games for

Windows programs and that kind of stuff

with plenty of overhead but on top of

that because we are going to be doing a

lot of gameplay recordings with this guy

we do also have in the back a 4 terabyte

WD black hard drive and this is where

all the recordings are going to live at

least until we actually do go edit it

and then we're going to use USB to sort

of dump it out the editing PC as far as

actual capture goes that should be

pretty much all we need now down here

the only thing that is not black and

matte and RGB and cool is our Blackmagic

intensity Pro 4k now this is just simply

an internal capture card so around back

we have a pair of HDMI ports as well as

we have a multitude of analog inputs so

if we do want to hook up an older

console we can record with this guy what

the idea here is that we actually have a

single system that's going to be able to

nail a captured gameplay that we're

actually playing on the system but we

can't capture from those external

consoles PCs pretty much whatever else

we have this entire setup is being

powered by a 1000 watt course there are

n 1000 now a thousand watt power supply

is wild overkill for the system

considering that's probably gonna be

pulling well less than 500 watts however

I had it laying around and so it had the

nice modular cables and uh you know why

not no no I had real reasons when we

upgrade to another 1070 and overclock

the rise and processor I'm never gonna

doing this it's gonna be totally fine

stock cuz I'm literally just need to

place type of technique I just like the

idea of making it more RGB dand more

ridiculous when really I'm trying to be

conservative and build something that's

reasonable so first up we have an easy

one rocket league of course here at

1080p on max settings we're getting a

solid 220 frames per second so you know

it's going to be playable but

importantly we also do have support for

shadow play so with a single keyboard

command we can get a nice clean

recording of the gameplay as well of

course can also stream it to but plenty

performance for a game like this so

while we wait for pub G to update like

it always needs to do when I need to

film the video this essentially is a

good time to talk a little bit about why

I'm using Rison 7 as opposed to a lower

end risin or something like for i5 or i7

and that is entirely due to the fact

that we've got 8 cores and 16 threads to

work with now we can definitely get away

with a lot less if we were just doing

gaming but the idea that we're going to

be streaming and recording on top of

that the extra Headroom does make a big

difference

you can see we have well it's just nice

to look at lots of three so now that pub

G has been updated what we're getting

here is as you'd expect a pretty solid

experience so again 1080p ultra settings

right now just running around this

little prison here we're getting a solid

100 frames per second and this actually

is a good time to mention that I am

playing on a high refresh rate monitor

now that that really matters for

streaming but it actually does make it a

little bit better for well you know

playing the game this is the ultimate

camouflage being naked in the desert

they'll never see me coming next up we

have fortnight because what else would

we be playing in 2018 so I've got full

epic settings at 1080p and we're

averaging around 100 frames per second

what's different this time is that we

are streaming at the same time so this

is the exact same feed on YouTube gaming

and that's going to be a full 1080p 60

frames you can see it's gonna be maybe a

few seconds too late but it's actually

is surprisingly clean looking signal

we're really not going to be losing a

lot of quality while still getting a

super playable game and that's really

the beauty of a system like this so that

was going to be a hardcore dedicated

streamer I would have a separate PC to

be able to get the maximum performance

out of the one that I'm using to play

the game but the performance overhead

really isn't bad with a system like this

we have plenty of cores we have a more

than powerful enough GPU which means

that I can easily play the game stream

it all at once and not really see any

kind of serious performance penalty so

that is our brand new streaming PC as

always I'll have links to everything we

used in the description of this video

you may want to make some changes like a

different power supply considering that

that's total overkill but for the most

part actually do think this is going to

be a pretty reasonable setup and I'm

excited to get some streaming going or

in the future anyway guys thank you so

much for watching and I will catch you

in the next one
