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 over 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 technically 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 core i5 or i7 and that is entirely due to the fact that we've got eight cores and sixteen 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
