I don't want to talk long around the bush. My name is Samantha and I love to produce YouTube videos. Since my laptop is now a bit older and does not perform as I wanted, I would like to invest in a PC or in equipment. Since I like to play privately I would also like to start streaming on Twitch / Youtube.
What kind of PC am I looking for?
I'm looking for a PC that is able to stream in the highest quality on Twitch and Youtube. He should still be able to edit / render YouTube videos quickly and well. I want to record Let's Plays with the Switch / Playstation.
What do I want to play / stream?
Among others PS4 games like Fortnite, Monster Hunter World, Apex Legends.
Wii Switch: Smash Bros, The legend of Zelda.
Pc games: Hearthstone, LoL.
I'm willing to invest 2500 euro in the PC, if it is really necessary. Among other things, I still need a monitor (s), mouse, microphone and a face cam.
Since I have never assembled a PC before, I prefer a pre-built one or a website that offers to assemble it for me. I always order from Amazon. On which website can I find a PC etc. Which meet my requirements above.
Look around https://www.hardwaredealz.com/die-besten-gaming-desktop-pcs/. And build your own PC, you save a few hundred euro and it is not difficult as everyone thinks.
So complete as a ready PC is difficult.
You could buy a finished gaming PC and then upgrade it with a capture card. This is not necessarily optimal.
You could configure a PC at Mindfactory and have it assembled for 150 euro extra. It's a shame about 150 euro but a carefree package and the hardware exactly meets your requirements.
You could order the Mindfactory shopping cart and assemble it yourself. It is not difficult. You should be able to read a manual, follow a YouTube tutorial and ideally you can use a screwdriver without an accident.
No matter what you choose. The periphery is also quite expensive again. I would recommend
a minimum of 2 screens
You shouldn't be too stingy with your keyboard and mouse, otherwise it gets frustrating
Microphone is quite inexpensive.
You don't want to have the cheapest headphones.
You can save a lot on the webcam, if that is a little cheaper it is hardly noticeable.
As for your PS4 … Why play PlayStation when the games run smoother on PC and look prettier.
I can put together something for you. Would take some time.
https://hardwarerat.de/...lasse?c=87 I have already recommended it to you several times and not without reason. There's nothing better to stream on the German-language internet. I know that because the PC was created solely and solely for this reason. You can only get something more powerful with a lot more money, but that would be a waste.
Enter "PC configurator" at Google, you can put together your PC as you wish.
Btw: If you want to record games on Wii and switch etc. Do you need a capture card, I have the elgato hd60s
Thanks for the tip, just I have little idea of the hardware
Such a nonsensical recommendation.
The thing doesn't even have a capture card.
What do I want to play / stream?
Among others PS4 games like Fortnite, Monster Hunter World, Apex Legends.
Wii Switch: Smash Bros, The legend of Zelda.
Pc games: Hearthstone, LoL.
Hearthstone and Lol are said to be running. Otherwise console.
It may be that it says "Streaming upper class". But besides marketing, you might want to think for yourself.
Then what kind?
That would be, for example, a PC recommendation for Mindfactory including assembly. It also contains a capture card to record consoles, a Ryzen 7 3700x and 32GB RAM for video editing, an RX5700XT, a 1TB SSD for Windows, programs and games as well as a 4TB HDD for recording and archiving your video project files.
With the PC games you specified, a GTX 1650ti would be more than enough. But now I assumed that once you got a taste of it, you would also like to play other games on the PC.
And 2 144Hz screens.

Then keyboard and mouse
https://www.amazon.de/...01CM03SVS/
https://www.amazon.de/...01IEZ9VP2/
microphone
https://www.amazon.de/...07YZMF4BQ/
https://www.amazon.de/...000NTZKH6/
Webcams are currently quite expensive, but with the APP droidcam your smartphone would also perform this function very well.
Then you insert a capture card, can assure you 300000% that there's ZERO marketing in the PC. And I also thought about it, having already discussed it with the questioner. The PC has a history. I wanted a PC, which I can safely recommend to streamers, quickly and easily with a single link. That was necessary because nobody else had offered anything until then. Then I personally contacted the shop operator Tim aka hardware agent and he then asked me to create suitable configurations in different price categories. I DO NOT EARN A CENT, IT'S JUST A HOBBY FROM ME! So the configuration is not from the operator of the shop or from the people who ultimately build the PC, and the person who created it had no reason to save in any corner or to install anything for marketing.
That was the short version of the story, and now you are welcome to express criticism.
But you can google for "Intel i7 Streaming" and then you will mostly be told whether that is suitable.
The system does not meet the requirements and is oversized at the same time.
It just doesn't fit.
If you contributed to it, then I can understand that you are promoting it, even if you don't earn anything from it. But it still doesn't fit.
And "Streaming PC upper class" is of course Marketing BlaBla.
Not bad, but the recommendation is simply not good.
How would you configure it? The name is because there are 2 cheaper PC's. My proposed name would of course have been different. I wanted something swanky
Add yourself as a friend
Come on, maybe I'll learn something.
Ok, if you have nothing better to contribute, I can bury the topic now, but it also means that the PC is very suitable and fits, or you don't know what would be good. Or you didn't notice my challenges. In all cases, that doesn't help anyone
It also means that the PC is very suitable and fits
no, pretty illogical
I've already said what's missing, Caputre Card.
You have to give the FS at least a system that can at least do the tasks mentioned. That doesn't work with your suggestion.
A capture card must fit the selected resolution, we're not there yet. I have also never heard of an inexpensive finished PC (in the sense of is worth the money) where the capure card is already installed. All people are upgrading themselves. Of course, hardware advice should also put some in the shop, but the profit margins on capture cards are virtually non-existent because there's a quasi-monopoly here, and therefore he has none. Your point is justified, but it is of no use to the cause
There's a maximum of 2500 euro, so it doesn't have to be really cheap. The proposed 1820 euro calculator is not "really cheap" either. The capture card is then added on top.
I would recommend the FS if he does not want to assemble himself that he can put together a PC and then assemble it directly. Sure, he can then pay a 100 euro surcharge, but he does not save on a ready-made PC either (at least the 1800 euro computer does not look like it).
Then he has the free choice of components and can have everything he needs installed.
In other answers, configurations have already been suggested.
What Krabat693 and others say is of course also to be considered - the periphery also costs again. I would consider the maximum limit of 2,500 euro.
Ultimately, however, it depends on the specific application. If the system "should only be streamed from the PS4" and otherwise run LOL or Hearthstone, then I would not dimension the computer as large. You can do it, but for what? If you think that you also want to stream / gamble something complex, it looks different again.
I can only see complete systems as meaningful if they are really complete. If you then have to change hardware again, a layperson has also gained nothing.
What you have to do anyway is to remove the pane and remove the plastic transport lock. During this step, you can also insert a capture card into a free pcie slot. The most demanding thing is the initial start-up and the setting of the Uefi Bios. That's all already done, streamers have to deal with all the rest themselves anyway, no one will do that for them.
Clearly "the customer can do it himself".
Or he immediately buys an individual box and has it assembled. Then he can adapt the hardware even better to his needs and possibly save something (or get more performance).
But yes, if you want to buy a ready-made PC, you can do it, that's what they're there for.
Then make a draft! So that we at least have something like a research basis. I personally find the ryzen 9 3900x absolutely practical, especially since it currently also offers a better price-performance ratio than the 3700x and the 2070super is also a great card for streaming. So if you want to create a PC with the capture card already included, go ahead. I personally think I've already listed the most ideal options. Of course, it can fail because video files quickly become too large for normal ssd's to cut. I still have a need for learning myself, but I don't learn anything unless you go into it professionally.
