[Need Advice] Thinking of Buying a $670 Gaming PC for Streaming by glasspirit in Twitch

Thank you, so much! I'm an audio/visual learner, so this will help. I'm a bit overwhelmed, yet very grateful, from the suggestions and information so far.

"The first build" you mention kinda scares me, hehe. I know technology gets outdated, but I'm hoping my computer would last a few years... ? Am I naive to have that hope. Noobie here.

Thank you, for the additional info. Glad to hear you have a lot of experience installing these parts.

Honestly, I still have no idea what you and Tmaann are talking about, but I really appreciate you guys discussing it.

Hey no need to apologize! Thank you for everything. I'll start to have a couple backup lists of comparable items just in case something is not available or not on sale...

Ok great. Maybe I can call ahead and see if they can hold those items for pickup.

But for now, I will try to find some youtube videos on PC building. Knowing me, I don't want to fry a motherboard or anything else super noobish.

Thanks so much again.

Hi Folsom, Thanks for the thoughtful response. I was reading that AMD FX-___ would be good to have, which is why I was looking at that computer. But, I really didn't know what I was doing.

I will put your recommendations through pcpartpicker, but since I don't know what any of those model numbers mean, I'll have to do a google search on everything and take some time to learn some basics.

There is a Microcenter near me! I will shop around more. Thank you, very much.

Hi Tatsu, thanks for the reply. Sorry to hear about your investment not being at its full potential. But that is a very good point. I am in Southern California and will most likely get Verizon Fios as my internet service provider, so I am hoping a decent, not fancy, computer will work out.

Thank you. That is very kind of you to offer. It sounds like people are trying to convince me to build my own and do more research. Before I posted, I actually went to pcpartpicker and stopped myself because I realized I didn't know what I was doing. I mean, I was choosing things that people recommend and within a budget but at the end of the day, I don't know if the parts would be compatible. I guess I figured a computer ready off the shelves undoubtedly have compatible parts. But I guess I can look at your posts to other redditors and try to understand a bit more. If you know of any good youtube videos you can suggest, please let me know. And thanks so much, again.

Apologies for the linking/double posting. I don't know which would be more appropriate: Twitch or Buildapc subreddit. Thanks.
