Request: Streaming PC and Niche Software
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to look at my request.
-
New Build or Upgrade?
- New Build
-
Existing parts:
- Monitors— two possible to reuse; Scepter 24 in, HP 23.8 FHD
-
PC purpose?
- Design A Knit 9 (DAK9)
- Not super strict requirements, but I would appreciate recommendations for the best way to run something that isn’t in “safe mode” because I don’t really know what that entails
- Streaming OBS Studio
- Video Editing, likely just using YouTube Create and/or Canva, so likely on the lighter end
- I use the Logitech Reach camera
- Zoom/Video Calling (teaching lessons online)
- Design A Knit 9 (DAK9)
-
Purchase country?
- United States of America
- The nearest Microcenter is a four hour drive. It is possible to make the trip.
-
Monitors needed?
- My husband said I would probably need two, but I’ve only ever used one… so two, I suppose
- I would it if love a white monitor setup somehow fit in the budget. I really am clueless on what quality options cost, though. Input is much appreciated.
-
Budget range?
- Up to $850
- I can potentially swing it if that number doesn’t include taxes yet
-
WiFi or wired connection?
- WiFi but wired is possible if necessary
-
Size/noise constraints?
- as quiet as possible
-
Color/lighting preferences?
- white cases
- RGB is fine, but it’s not necessary to go out of the way to add it if something doesn’t have it already
I have quite a few USB and USB C accessories like the above mentioned Logitech Reach (USB C), the Logitech Litra Glow along with two webcams, one that is the Logitech C270, and I can’t find what the other one is, but it’s likely a cheapie like the C270 and both are USB. I sometimes use external speakers. I prefer using a wireless mechanical keyboard and wireless mouse, so I think I will need quite a few USB ports.
DAK9 is a CD installation, but I can buy an external for that install.
Please let me know if I need to add more information! I will do my best to fill in any gaps.
