Hi there, if you don't already know me let me fill you in on why I'm asking for your help and what I've already done to try and fix this problem on my own.

What is my PC to me?

It's my office, my social space, and my vehicle for creativity. First and foremost my PC is used to run my business, Landscape Architecture programs, and design software. Its second use is probably the one you're more directly aware of. Streaming / Content Creation. Video Editing, Live Gaming, and Streaming. Lastly is my art/writing, this is a place for me to archive and create digital artwork and novels.

The Problem:

Live streaming is the piece that no longer functions on the current hardware. The choke point is both the CPU and GPU, a 1070 and an i7 just aren't cutting it any longer for the high demand of both gaming and streaming.

I've already tried dozens of workarounds. The stream quality and stability have suffered. All of the content and extras have been trimmed back to the most basic setup possible. The loaned computer is crashing, the gaming computer peeking and the streamer (me) getting stressed and dreading the next breakdown.

The Solution:

The goal of this fundraiser is to get a solid one PC set up that can handle the workload of content creation. Both live streaming and video production. With that in mind, we're looking at a budget of $2,500 - $5,000.

Here are the specs we are aiming for: Streaming Pro PC

Here's the stretch goal: Creator PC

Why am I asking for your help?

Because enough people have told me to at least ask. I'm an incredibly private person outside of streaming and it's difficult for me to admit I've failed to do this on my own. The last four years have been one disaster after another and left me in a precarious place.

Thank you!

Every little bit helps. If we only raise a partial amount it will go into savings and I'll continue to add stream revenue and tips into that account until the full amount is reached.

Thank you in advance for your time reading my story and sharing it with others.

Much love,
