Help!!

Hello Everyone,

Just after some help please. I need a gaming PC to help stream from but only have a budget of around £400 to begin with. Even if I am limited to only playing via my Xbox but streaming via the PC this is fine but really struggling to know if something is worth getting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

with that price limit you will struggle to find a good system new you will need to look through ebay/ facebook or anything else selling secound hand

Cant the x-box stream itself??

£400 is very tight and almost impossible if you need a keyboard, mouse and monitor.

the xbox can but think it is limited to where you can stream to.

Second hand sounds like a good plan in this case... why don't you have a look at an old Xeon? for that price there are competent, although relatively old, machines.
