What monitor are you pairing it with, what resolution and refresh rate or make and model if you're unsure?Hi all, this is going to seem like a stupid question but as I am no good with computer parts or hardware I need to ask (sorry if this is in the wrong forum) could anyone possibly recommend to me good configurations for a desktop that is good at game and is also good at streaming, my budget is around £1300 so I hope this helps, any advice / recommendations would really help.
Thank You
Well I’m not sure what monitor at the moment it’s an old AOC one I got with my last pc about 5 years ago which is now out-dated so not sure about all the specifics of it but I’m new to streaming so at the moment I’ve just got the standard elgato program to stream with. Sorry if this doesn’t help.
So can you give us the make and model of the monitor? Will be on the monitor itself... this affects what hardware you need.
To be honest with you I can accommodate a new monitor if I slightly higher the budget, this is because the monitor isn’t very good either it flickers and other things and sometimes just black screens so I should probably get a new monitor.
That's probably wise, I'm guessing it's 1080p 60Hz which is pretty useless by today's standards.
I could push it to about £1350 for a monitor as well
Is that the best I could get with my budget ( and I would probably just but the windows licence again)
Do you not have a windows license you can transfer? You can transfer windows 10 to any machine for free.
Is that the very best I could get for my budget,
Have a look here for some monitor suggestions, prices have fluctuated a bit since this was posted, have a look for 1440p 144Hz Freesync screens at around £350:
Gaming Monitors Guide
The monitor is probably the most important component in any gaming build – it defines how you experience games and the hardware the PC should have. Overlooking the monitor can be the single biggest bottleneck to your gaming experience. With recent monitor and graphics card launches, and wider...www.pcspecialist.co.uk
im not sure how to transfer it I’ve never done it before, I know I’m trying this into a quite tight budget for what it is but I just want the best I can get with what little I’ve got so if there is space where I can get better things let me know but at the same time I need a good monitor, this is why I’m shocking with actual computer hardware lol
Your budget is the limiting factor.
That’s fair enough how does transferring windows work then because I have it currently on my pc at the moment (obviously) but I never actually knew you could transfer it and would you be able to put that config together again for me and add the monitor you suggest if possible. Sorry if I’m being a pain you’re really helpful so I thought I would get my questions out to you two.
I've just supplied the link to the monitors, you need to go through them yourself and see which one best suits you.That’s fair enough how does transferring windows work then because I have it currently on my pc at the moment (obviously) but I never actually knew you could transfer it and would you be able to put that config together again for me and add the monitor you suggest if possible.

This is the problem what you have said has just gone straight over my head when talking about airflow so if it’s still in my budget if you recommend I do it I will because I want a pc for gaming and streaming but I want it to last a couple years so, what would you suggestPersonal preference I would go with the 275 Airflow and probably spend the extra money for the AX200 Wifi if you need wifi. The stock option is particularly slow.
With a decent 1440p monitor the above recommendations will be a fantastic system
