Question / Help Needing advice on buying a desktop PC

[Under The Radar]

Hey guys,

I appologize if this is being posted in the wrong group, but I am going to be buying me a PC desktop soon specifically just to run OBS and live streaming. This desktop will be left on 24/7 and will be running 2-5 cameras at the same time or panning wise.

What my question is; is what requirements should I look out for that is for sure needed in the desktop when I buy it to run OBS and live streaming very smooth? I heard lots of memory is good, and a good graphics card, but I do not know specifically what brand video card(s) I should go with or its size? 8mb, 4mb, etc. I heard NVIDIA and AMD are good.

As far as processor, should I go with a certain speed? Should it be Quad, Dual, I7, etc?

Hard drive I doubt will matter as the only program really that will be installed is OBS and maybe some Logitech apps, and streaming apps.

Any help would be great. Thanks

At the high end, it really depends on what you're looking for. Digital Storm, Falcon NW, and Origin are all excellent builders.

This guide should help you get a better understanding of what all the components of the computer will mean for you and make it easier to decide what you want, need, and which elements to prioritize.

Im sorry; are the names above computer brands? Never heard of any of them. If these are brands, you are probably referring some top expensive business brands as I am more focusing on a custom built PC desktop probably or to go with HP, Sony, Acer, etc.
