$500 PC

One of the best bang-for-your-buck PCs I have recommended in a long time. Expect 1080p gaming at medium to high settings on any game out there with HQ streaming capabilities too!

If the Corsair CV650 is not available, then pick-up a power supply from EVGA, Seasonic, Corsair, CoolerMaster, or Thermaltake. Check out this power supply tier list for specific recommendations (I highly recommend it!). Choose a 500+ watt unit from Tier C or above.

The RX 5600 XT from AMD does not have NVENC for streaming. It uses AMD VCE (lower quality, but still effective). PLEASE watch my video on how to not get scammed when buying PC parts on Ebay video!
