Hi. First post here :) I'm looking to get a desktop for streaming Minecraft and a tad bewildered by what's required. Can someone point to the minimum requirements or a ready built machine? Advice appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi there! It'd probably be easier if you're able to provide us with a ballpark figure of what you'd like to spend then we'd be able to get you a spec to suit. Oh, and the monitor you'll be pairing with it (make and model or resolution and refresh rate would be ideal!)

Good shout. We have two AOC G2460VQ6 - 24 Inch FHD Gaming Monitors, 75 Hz. Budget is around £1k - but could go a bit over.
1K is rather a tight bugdet in the current market but I've done my best. If you could add another £100-200 to the build, it'd really benefit from it

I think my main query about the build is the 1650. Minecraft isn't a demanding game and you'll happily get the most out of those monitors with it, it's just about whether it'll be capable of handling minecraft and streaming at the same time or whether it will just need the extra £150 to get the 1660 Super- which despite sharing a similar name is a rather more powerful card. Maybe a question for the other members?

Aside from that, should be a solid build
