Gaming PC for gaming and streaming

Streaming means asking two things from the same machine at once: running the game and encoding a live video feed. The right configuration isn't simply "the most powerful one," but the one that cleanly separates the two workloads.

Hardware encoding

The built-in encoder in GeForce cards (NVENC) handles the streaming, leaving the processor free for the game. This is what prevents dropped frames during a live broadcast.

32 GB of memory

The game, OBS, your browser, chat, and overlays are all running together. 16 GB quickly becomes insufficient as soon as you add more sources.

Your connection also matters

The best PC cannot compensate for an insufficient upload speed. Check yours before investing in a machine.

Our recommendation: a GeForce RTX 5070 or a Radeon RX 9070 XT, 32 GB of memory, and a 1 TB SSD. Need a second monitor or a camera? See our creation gear.

Streaming while gaming requires headroom: hardware encoding that doesn't take frames per second away from the game, video memory, and a processor that can handle OBS in the background. These configurations go up to GeForce RTX 5070 or Radeon RX 9070 XT, with 32 GB of memory. Assembled and tested in Paris.
