  • Hello @Iconic_Xam What kind of budget did you have in mind for this upgrade? I don't see a price point in your post.
    The first upgrade I'd probably recommend is your RAM, 16GB is the base for heavy multitasking. Next would be your GPU and CPU. If you're able to use NVENC encoding to put the work on your GPU, I'd recommend upgrading your GPU first. You'll get better gaming performance out of this as well. Depending on what you upgrade to, you may need to upgrade your PSU as well as your PSU may not have the Wattage to support a higher power GPU.
    I'd be happy to discuss this more once we know a bit more about your budget.

    So the price on this PC = Pre-Built is $750 The main Price I'd go is 800$
    I want to do A Streaming PC, I was thinking this is an easy startup for that price point & I recently got an
    "Elgato Game Capture HD60 S"
    & I play on a ps5 Streaming for COD Games & such 
    I want to find an Entry Level Streaming PC for $800
  • I suppose I'm a bit confused then. It looks like you've already got a build selected. Perhaps I am misunderstanding, what kind of help or advice can I provide?
    Thanks
  • Well this is prebuilt & I am just super curious what I can upgrade first, As in Taking Steps in improving the quality of my streaming that I do
  • I see, I'd refer back to what I'd mentioned earlier.

    Other upgrades would be your storage. Upgrading your M.2 drive!
    Hope this helps.
