 |
|
so my friend wants an upgrade to his computer so he can stream his gameplay. Cause the current hardware isn't cutting it right now I picked out a 4000 series Intel processor, 7950 and a z87 motherboard and for some reason he wants 16gb of ram, whatever its his money i tried talking him out of it. I.don't have exact links now to the parts.anyway I was hoping it could stream it at 60 frames a second I didn't know if that much of an upgrade to be able to do that. Budget is 800 bucks max. Cpu, ram, mobo and gpu. On my phone sorry if shit is misspelled.

He can just upgrade some of his stuff, he doesn't have to fully rebuild. His gfx is good enough, I would just get a better CPU. I'd go for the new i7 =)

Oh man i meant his current hardware is like a core 2 quad with like ddr2 ram, its really old. Those parts i listed are the upgrade I picked out and was saying i think that is good enough. and was wondering if i was wrong to pick them.

a lot of it's going to depend on his internet connection too... are we sure he has a good enough upload speed to stream smoothly?

I was gonna say, 90% of the battle is internet connection.
Also there are a couple CPU options depending on what else he wants to do with it aside from gaming.
