2mb upload will do fine and stream decent quality.

I have 4-5 mb upload and have NO problems streaming with pretty good quality.


Wow really, im surprised now I might have to try it. Only problem is my internet likes to go in and out 1 every couple of hours.

i said the 10mg dl isnt what matters.

and i have no idea how to go about building it myself, altho a friend of mine knows how to put them together. is there a magic site to get it all from?


I went to the jsp computer section, they had a guide which had a step-by-step process on how to build it. Like, you could buy a $50 dollar Cooler Master case, and the money you'd be saving could get you better parts than what you have now, same with some of the other parts they have. It saved me some money, and building it was easy as shit.

The computer subforum will literally give you a list of what you need to buy if you tell them your price range.

so is it really worth going through the trouble of getting every part 1 at a time to save money?

If i wanted the same quality parts as the comp i linked, how much money would I save and how much more work would it take for me to acquire it? (what website do i find all these parts at?)

Next comp I buy, it will be built piece by piece from newegg.

It really is the smartest way to do it.

I have no clue where to start or how to do this, but youtube ez's it.

Pretty pumped about it.

Also someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if Mike doesn't plan on overclocking, liquid cooling isn't as useful, right?

I don't even know when liquid cooling is even necessary ever.

I'm just putting 7 fans in that bitch.

Changed video card to GTX 650 and the processor to i5-3570K to save some cash.

I have 1.6 Mbs upload (10 dl but dont think it matters) Is the above + this bandwidth enough to stream Sc2?

comes out to like 870$


My upload is 3.7 and Im running an i7 3370k with 6800 series radeon. My streams pretty good . You should be ok? Not sure about your Upload

I built my custom computer all from parts from Newegg. And i bought my Graphics Card from my brother. It was kinda overwhelming at first to figure out how to put it all together for the first time. But Newegg has a couple of videos about how to build a PC. They also later on taught me how to Overclock.

Something like this with the Storm Trooper Case always looks decent.

thanks for the info guys, I made a topic in the comp section, and like I said my friend is pretty good about comps and will help me put it together so I have a good feeling about it.
