Hey everyone! My partner is thinking about streaming games, and we believe building a new PC together might be the best and most cost-effective solution. I've built a couple of PCs before, but that was around 8 years ago, and they were strictly for gaming—not streaming. I'm here to get your insights on the general costs involved in this project. We want something that's not top-notch but will still hold up over time. We're looking for the best value for our money. If you have any numbers, advice, guides, or even complete build suggestions, that would be super helpful since I'm a bit out of the loop!

That's a great project! In the U.S., a decent gaming and streaming PC without cutting too many corners typically starts around $1200. Just keep in mind that prices can vary based on components and availability. If you can share your budget, I can help refine your choices!

Thanks for the info! If I want to go all in and aim for something around $1800-2000, how much of a performance boost should I expect from that? Any major differences?
