Any suggestions on a console to PC stream machine? I want to be able to stream at 720p (or if possible 1080p) @ 60fps. I will be doing the gameplay on an Xbox One and using the Elgato HD60. I want dual monitor display to be able to have expanded desktop view. I need it to be able to run OBS, the elgato software, and a cheap video editing program at one time (minimal video editing/rendering being done). I also want to be able to play Old School RunScape occasionally which is a very lightweight game so shouldn't be a problem. Any opinions?

Budget: >$500

for editing/rendering/streaming, the 6300 is good but an i5 would be far better.
Also, do you have a hard drive as 120GB will go stupid quick.
Finally, this is what I would get; [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] IGPU will be fine for lightweight gaming and there is room for a dedicated GPU for if you wanted one later on.
You will also need to acquire windows the free way which is relatively easy, but due to forum rules we can't tell you how, but google is great for things like that.

A SSD for a rig like you want isn't really needed where as storage is. The i5 will definitely help with streaming purposes as will the 750ti. You said you would be using OBS and OBS can take full advantage of NVENC which is where the 750ti comes in and take some of the usage during streaming off the CPU and onto the GPU.

I wasn't sure where amd vs Intel would be. I have read that the 6300 is about half the price of the 4460 and is only about 6 fps slower so I thought amd would be good as well. Thanks for the help. Gonna be a while before I actually get to purchase and build this guy anyways..just doing research now so I know what I want to get whenever I have the money.
