Hey everyone! I'm looking to get some guidance from those who are experienced with building PCs. I want to become a Vtuber, but I'm pretty new to the whole PC building scene. Right now, I use a Lenovo Legion Y540 laptop, so I'm hoping to upgrade to something that's better or at least a step up. My budget is $1100, and here are my main requirements:
- I need a setup that can handle running Twitch, OBS, and Vtuber software all at the same time.
- It should be able to stream at 1080p.
- I know the case isn't the most important part, but I'm keen on using the HYTE X50 case ([Hyte case](https://hyte.com/store/x50/cs-hyte-x50g-tm)).
- I want something that's future-proof so I can easily upgrade components later on.
Am I asking for too much within this budget? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

It sounds like you have a solid plan! For your budget, I recommend focusing on getting a good CPU and GPU combo. Look into something like the AMD Ryzen 5 series or Intel's i5, paired with an RTX 3060 or a GTX 1660 Super. They should help with multitasking while streaming and gaming. Also, don’t forget about at least 16GB of RAM, as it really helps with performance.
Regarding the case, the HYTE X50 is a great choice! Aesthetically pleasing and functional. As for the AIO cooler, it's not necessary unless you're planning on overclocking or just want to show off a bit. Air coolers can work just fine and could save you some cash.
Exactly! Go for the air cooler if you want to keep costs down, but AIOs do look pretty awesome!
Absolutely! That setup should work well for your needs. And you might want to consider a decent SSD for faster loading times.
