Twitch Streaming PCs & Peripherals: Do You Need the Same Gear As the Pros to Stream?

Obviously, these are just a few of the best Twitch streamers right now. And, their setups are typically the result of sponsors giving them the gear they use. In fact, most of their PCs are overkill for just gaming and even streaming, but since they don’t have to pay for their system’s, they don’t really have to be conscious of whether or not they’re over-spending on certain components in their builds.

If you are looking to get into streaming on Twitch and you want to build a gaming PC that can handle it, definitely check out our high-end build guide. You can easily build a gaming PC that can handle Twitch streaming for as low as $1,000 (and, really, you can get by with a lower budget build than that, too.)

Peripherals like monitors, keyboards, mice, headsets, and a PC gaming chair will cost you more as well, but you can typically get by with budget options in those areas when you’re just starting out.
