Gaming PC Build Advice.

    Hi All

    I'm a youtuber who deals mostly with game live streaming and video recording and i also deal with Adobe Premier,after effects,photoshop and audition for editing and all. and i was wondering i need a real good PC to play the games with good graphics which also can take the likes of OBS and Elgato for game capturing.

    My budget would be close to €1000 but i dont want to go over €1000.

    If you guys have any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I dont need a Monitor since i use my TV and i have a keyboard and mouse.
    but i will need USB 3.0 for the Elgato and it needs and I5 or better processor far as i can tell but if i can get a computer which can run newer games and will last me a good few years would be great but i feel i ask for a miracle half the time haha.

    Thanks all

    Multi-tasking requires a good CPU - Core i5 preferred, Core i7 ideal.

    Graphics (in-game) don't need to be maxed, you can probably get away with an RX470 build.

    Is your TV at least 1080p?
