USB Advice

Hi

I would like a bit of advice, I've jus bought a new PC (specs below) but I have a very specific issue. I'm recording and streaming a variety of games, some of these games require a deal of peripherals as does the streaming side, so I could be in a position of having a web cam (usb 3), microphone, track ir, mouse, hotas, game controler, keyboard and possibly I'm considering using my old PC as the streaming platform via a Razer Ripsaw.

So my question is, what in your opinion would be the best USB hub for me to get for what I'm using and is there anyway to avoid bottlenecks etc ????

Cheers

When you say you've just bought it, has it been built/delivered yet or is it still pre-production / building phase?

I think you can probably tweak the build to get much better value for your purposes, and other tweaks like faster RAM etc spring to mind. That case doesn't have USB 3 ports at the front too. For streaming you could consider an X299 or AMD Ryzen system.
