How is this for streaming high-demanding games

So I'm getting a new PC, mostly for streaming story games, and those which are high demanding, Assassins creed Odyssey or Syndicate etc. How would this fair in streaming/playing, and do I have anything to worry about?

Streaming isn't particularly demanding on RAM, so unless you're also video editing e.g. in Adobe Premiere Pro, 16gb RAM is more than fine.

For streaming, the 9900k for its extra threads would make more sense than the 9700k.

However, for titles that are themselves very demanding on the CPU across multiple cores, and then streaming them, consider the AMD R9 3900x with its 12 cores and 24 threads. It's an excellent streaming option.

Why the RTX 2070 Super? What monitor do you game on?

What''s the budget and what does the spec above cost?

Thanks for your input.
Honestly for so long i've had this terrible PC so I thought i'd spoil myself on a decent PC.
I am currently gaming on a 60hz monitor, soon to be upgraded to 144hz, the 2070 super for this reason and to be able to play games at a higher quality.
The above pc costs £2000, the budget being that.
As I said thanks for your input, I just wanted to know if the PC would be able to stream and play games at a good standard, not too bothered about changing unless its vital.

I'm not sure about vital. I can't absolutely swear that the 9700k will fail at what you want it to do. But buying a 9700k for streaming when you have a budget of £2000 is crazy.

There are just better options for the same money.

Also when you say 144hz... you mean 1080p 144hz? A 2070 Super for 1080p 144hz is a waste of a good GPU.

Overpurchasing on a GPU for a monitor you can't afford yet is also a bad plan, because by the time you've saved up the further £500 for a decent monitor, your GPU may already have been superseded by a newer generation.

Tbh if you spent more sensibly on the main build, you'd get something better suited for your needs, for a lower price, saving you most of what you need for the monitor too.

Or if it's not going to take you long at all to round up the money for a monitor, buy a better spec.
