@Scott
I've made the following changes:
CPU
CPU cooler
RAM
SSD(s)
Paste
Kept the case and extra fans.
Norton wasn't selected on the order list, thank goodness.
The 9950 is on pre-order, so it delays things... but I'm not in any major rush. Also, saved £2!
Thank you.
The case isn't in until the start of April, so the build won't start until then.
Just caught up on the new messages, more to think about!
Looks like I'll be handing out a few humble choices keys as a thank you!
Okies...
After taking into account the great advice from the peeps here, then chatting with an advisor at PCS...
I present to you (I'll be putting my capture card, gpu and a few storage drives in from my current build).
Case
CORSAIR FRAME 4000D RS ARGB MODULAR
Change to: CORSAIR 3500X ARGB...
Thank you for both of these, Scott. Lots to think about!
Would my current CPU be able to handle streaming at 1080/60 just fine then?
Genuinely a lot to think about now!
Could you recommend alternatives for the parts you mentioned? I could always use any funds saved to get a nicer case.
No issues, really, nope. I've just got my mind set on a dedicated PC for streaming and capturing. I'll still use my main PC to game generally, video and photo edit.
This is my current build - just with a 4090 inside now.
Case
CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE
Promotional Item
Get Resident Evil Village with select Samsung SSDs
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16 Core CPU (3.4GHz-4.9GHz/72MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard
ASUS® CROSSHAIR VIII HERO...
Good evening/morning!
I've ordered the below to use as a dedicated streaming/recording PC.
I have a capture card already, so that will slot in no worries...
Is this overkill? Or will it do well as a streaming PC (that could maybe be a main PC when my current rig starts to show signs of aging...
Update on the update...
The delay isn't the cable etc, it seems GhostWire: Toyko has a small input delay depending on what graphics settings you're running on PS5.
Jusy recorded some ER gameplay, no delay at all.
Not sure if moving everything in to a new case would invalidate any warranty I have with PCS?
Good news though, the plan to move the case has worked... Mostly. The only issues I've ran in to is my capture unit - 4k60s+ - now has a small delay. I'm guessing the 5M cable is just too long to keep...
Going to grab a 6m hdmi, dp and usb 3 extension cable to give it ago.
I'll report back in a couple of days. If it does not work, then I was thinking about maybe getting some sound proofing and shielding the PC? Still give it space to get air circulation etc but then potentially dampen the sound?
2 pc monitors - hdmi/dp
Elgato face cam - usb
4k60s+ - usb
2 x litra glows - usb
Corsair st100 - usb
Elgato wave:3 -usb
Mouse / Keyboard -usb
Stream Deck - usb
Lapel mic - jack
I do have a USB hub in the house, but rarely use it. In theory, would that + the hubs via the monitors do the job...
