Thanks for the reply WOWBOx40,

I will be happy running at 1080 or less resolution. Happy to set team at 15-20 FPS if necessary. Looking to get the 1070 if that is what you meant by gtx settings. Unfortunately I do not have a pc currently. Surviving on an ipad. Mini. Looking to spend 1100 to 1600 on the rig. And just learning about streaming, but the bottom end of good quality is fine with me as in resolution and FPS. Just would want it to be enjoyable for the viewer. Not absolutely determined to start streaming right away, So could add a second pc down the road. But wanted to know if todays processors like the ones I mentioned were capable of streaming while handing the load for five=boxing. If i assigned one core per man, leaving three cores on the i7 9700K 8 core cpu for general cpu usage and encoding and whatever else is involved in streaming, would those three cores be capable? Or is it still asking a lot for cpus in the 250 to 400 dollar price range?

On a side note, I am looking to build a m-itx system. 32 GB ram, 1070, 512 SSD, etc
