Looking to Build My First PC for Streaming – Any Tips or Part Suggestions?

Hey everyone,

I am planning to build my first PC, and I am specifically aiming for something that can handle streaming smoothly, both for gaming and other content creation. I have done a bit of research, but I would love to hear from anyone who has experience in building a PC for streaming, especially for someone on a bit of a budget.

I am looking for recommendations on:

1. CPU & GPU: What are the best options for streaming? Should I prioritize a high-performance CPU or GPU?
   
   

2. RAM & Storage: How much RAM do I need for smooth performance, and any advice on SSD vs. HDD for storage?
   
   

3. Cooling Solutions: Do I need a fancy cooling system, or is the stock cooling enough?
   
   

4. Streaming-Specific Parts: Any suggestions for parts that really enhance the streaming experience, like capture cards or webcams?
   
   

Also, if you have any other tips, like recommended websites for finding good deals or how to optimize for streaming, I’d greatly appreciate it!

I have been checking out some guides for budget-friendly builds, and I came across a helpful resource at pcbuilder.io. They have a section for budget pc builder that seems like it could fit my needs.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

Thanks in advance!
