how much should I realistically spend on a new puter if I want 1440p and maybe livestream to my bros

>>715753251 (OP)
Going to blow your kind anon
If you have to ask and you have to budget. Then you cant afford it

the most expensive version of everything because games arent made properly anymore so you need to brute force your way to high fps.
or turn on fake frames but that will probably cause your streams to become a blurry mess when moving.

That doesn't look like it'll fit in her PC's case.

>amd x3d cpu
>nvidia 5000 series gpu
>32gb ram
>the rest
If you don't get the x3d and a gpu capable of dlss and mfg you won't be able to run future 1440p games and stream

>>715753251 (OP)
a 4070ti lets me do 1440p in every game and stream 720p60@6K bitrate
so you're gonna need a 5090 or better and 128GB ram minimum

>>715754004
Think again.

>>715754337
Does X3D CPU matter that much on 2k? I thought the bigger the resolution the beefier the card would matters more.

>>715754971
You can spend less than half on a non x3d and lose at most 5-10% performance.

>>715754463
don't listen to this retard.
he is going way higher than needed to render 1440p games and stream them reduced.
if you are streaming to bros on discord or similar it gonna be at roughly 720p 60fps anyways at best.

>>715754707
Full of deditated wam.

>>715755340
look at how the little people cope

>>715755340
Anon... he was clearly joking.

theres a lot of different price points you can get in at. really depends on what you're looking to do and whether your comfortable looking at the used market, as well as what kinds of games you like to play and what you plan on streaming.

Assuming you're in the US for a brand new system, it would be around the $1200 price point. You can get away with less and probably get it closer to $900ish - but the performance you'd be gaining for the extra bit of price would go a long way. If you have a microcenter near you then you can get some really, stupidly good deals.

If you're okay with going used you have a lot of options and could easily find something that will do everything you want it to for around the $850ish price range. Even less if you're good at deal hunting and lucky - I specced out a nice computer for a friend last week that was like $650. It wont be a top of the line system - but it will be more than good enough to play whatever you want on high settings.

Theres a lot of shitflinging and bullshit by retards on this site who know fuckall about tech or only blindly follow whatever [youtuber] tells them. Hardware really hasnt changed significantly in the last few years compared to software and you can get away with running some ancient stuff.

Depending on your budget and what kinds of shit you wanna play you likely have way more options than you realize.

>>715753251 (OP)
I spend about $1500

>>715754971
i memed myself with a 7900X processor instead of x3d and i haven't run into any bottlenecks @ 1440 so i suspect that the issue is slightly overblown

>>715756182
ill elaborate on this a bit further. One of the streamers I work with streamed at 1080p, played at 1080p, ran 5 monitors and about 14 peripherals, and were running about 5 programs while streaming. They didn't play the newest UE5 games, but still do play modern release games. They were running a 3600 and a 1070. They had very minimal issues. They eventually did upgrade because they wanted to start playing some newer shit thats horribly optimized like monster hunter wilds and did upgrade their system. However I did get a hold of that rig for a bunch of testing while transferring their shit over to their new PC. I was able to run shit like startfield and oblivion remaster on low/med settings at 30-60fps. When I threw in a 3070 the framerates were completely usable at 45-90fps on medium/high settings. It was able to handle MHW fine as well at around 65fps. GPU matters way more than CPU these days as pretty much every CPU made in the last 6 years is fucking fine.

>the used market meta
every dipshit will tell you to find an old am4 system and build off it from there. maybe this will work for you, maybe it wont. Sadly everyone knows this trick by now so even systems with a ryzen 1700 from 2016 will sell for like $700+ - at this $ point its more effective to go AM5 new. The trick is to find rigs based on intel 9th - 12th gen, preferably prebuilds from like ibuypower or origin or whatever. You can frequently find rigs with like a 12700kf and 16gb ddr4 for like $300 or less. Even the 9900kf has a ton of horse power in it. Pair it with a used 3080 for about $350-$400 and an 850w PSU for about $150 and you're off to the races playing everything on high.

>you NEED an X3D cpu!!!
ignore anyone one who tells you this. They are retards and have no idea what they're talking about. If you're not running a 4080/90 or a 5080/90 you're not going to be coming close to a cpu bottleneck and you're not going to see enough of a performance uplift to justify the cost.

>>715757272
oh, and you can find used 3070s for like... $250ish. Thats still an absolutely fine gpu and will play everything on high.

And streaming really doesn't take a shitton of processing overhead - as well as you're not really going to want to be streaming in 1440p / most sites won't let you stream at resolutions/bitrates that high unless you are already a well established creator. Streaming at 1080p is fine, but the nature of the game is most of your audience is gonna be south americans or south east asians who watch everything in 540/720p anyways. You are most likely going to be having issues with your isp (most home connections in the US dont have symmetrical speeds so your upload will be significantly lower than your download) and the stability of your internet connection before you have any issues with the hardware itself on the pure streaming side of things. You can play games at 1440 but expect to upload video at 720/1080p.

The other thing you really need to consider if you're serious about streaming is storage space. Pretty much all content creators save their videos as well as stream them. Usually the local recordings they save are at full resolution of what they're playing at. 2-3 hours of 1440p video adds up real fuckin' fast on your hard drive. For that reason alone you might even want to consider just streaming at 1080p. You are way better off saving some money on your cpu and spending it on storage if you're planning on being serious.

Not OP, but that's solid streaming advice, thank you Nahidabro.

>>715753251 (OP)
Somewhere around $2k. I have a 4070 super and a ryzen 5 5600 and I spent just about $1700 on my rig last year.
1440p monitor cost $180
Maple dollars btw

>>715758254
any time man, if you're looking to get into streaming i hope it goes well for you. If you have any other questions i'll be around for a bit.

40 series is hard to recommend right now. They're great cards but both new and used prices are obscene for what they are. If you get really lucky and find a good deal sure - but its that awkward point where if you're worried about budget going down to 30 series will get you nearly the same performance for significantly less, and if you want/need the newest features then you might as well just go 50 series. Prices have changed quite a lot since last year as well. Im glad if you like your rig and its working well for you, but I actually just finished a build for a canadian creator 2 weeks ago for a $2k maple budget and it was a significantly more powerful system. Sadly canada computers and memory express dont have the same level of deals as say microcenter. Also newegg.ca is missing half the good shit.
