Is your set-up enough to captivate an audience? If you’re in any doubt, then we have the ultimate streaming set-up to share with you!
We understand that a streaming set-up needs to please both you and your viewers. First impressions matter a lot, and your hardware needs to be good enough to ensure a smooth stream.
Streaming
Streaming is a movement that is always building momentum in gaming. From grand esports tournaments to more niche home-based recordings, our community loves to share defeats, victories, and all the gameplay in between.
Of course, some streamers amass more of a following than others. The quality of their equipment can have a direct impact on their level of success. Powerful hardware plays a huge role in connecting and growing the streaming community all over the world.
Eager to share your gameplay with like-minded gamers? Our ultimate streaming guide can help you get started!
The Ultimate Streaming Set-Up
You need the right hardware to run the latest games and handle streaming workloads. Plus, viewers will expect you to bring something extra to the table.
Here’s a quick list of the technology that goes into an elite streaming set-up:
- Tailored gaming PC with the option to pair with a streaming PC
- An ultrawide gaming monitor
- Silent and smooth peripherals including keyboard and mouse
- Gaming headset, microphone, and webcam
- Stream deck system
You can go the extra mile outside of operational hardware, too. Stylish gaming chairs, RGB lighting, and an inspired use of a green screen can help you make an impact with your audience. As such, we’ve rummaged through our shelves at Overclockers UK and have put together our very own Ultimate Streaming Set-Up.
