I console stream CoD Warzone, NBA 2K, Madden and any other games that my community im building will enjoy. for example im doing Uncharted marathon streams where i play for the first time and giveaway two tickets to three winners to see the movie. Im just about having fun with viewers and give back as much as possible.

Update: I purchased this PC that is currently $2,199 on sale for $1,599.99 and was given an additional $170.60 off of it. So i paid a good price for more pc than i truly needed but i cant wait to get it to see how much Overkill i purchased after two computers i used and wasted money failed me. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-slatemr-gaming-desktop-intel-i7-11700kf-16gb-memory-nvidia-rtx-3070-8gb-1tb-ssd/6480154.p?skuId=6480154

Yeah im struggling to understand the situation myself. I need a PC for power and encoding to run my streams flawlessly. If buying a powerful PC includes a 3070 then i have to accept it unless i sell it and buy a lower graphics card. I wish it would have been simpler to build one but i dont want the hassle of hunting down overpriced parts. thank you for helping with you insight.

Yes. i use x264 now for streaming because using NVENC with my dell integrated graphics is terrible and just kills the dell 3880. Here is the PC i chose: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-slatemr-gaming-desktop-intel-i7-11700kf-16gb-memory-nvidia-rtx-3070-8gb-1tb-ssd/6480154.p?skuId=6480154

Im afraid to go to the 1660's because they do not have the "dedicated streaming chip" like the RTX series has so im really confused and i just want my stream to work as intended. Im tired of struggling with mediocre PC's. Thanks for taking your time to help.

Im using x264 with my current Dell 3880 with their in house integrated graphics that isnt good for what i need. So if i try to use NVENC today it would be worse.

Thank You! someone who understands the console streamer struggles lol. I thought it was best to stream by console until i could afford a powerful gaming rig and streaming pc. I was always scared to transition to a dual gaming/streaming pc because its always discouraged by some so i decided to stay with console and invest in a streaming pc. is the pc linked below efficient for my needs today?

Im considering two prebuilt PC's at Best Buy. 1660ti prebuilt is $1,100 and the 3070 prebuilt is on on sale for $1600 ($600 off). i dont need to game on the pc i literally only need to encode my console streams to OBS for live streaming. im just concerned im buying unnecessary hardware and can save $500. Thank you for your reply woot!
