DB's New Stream Dream Machine

Donation protected

As mentioned in the video, my current pc is a 2014 aged (and some older gen parts) potato that is pushed to its limit. This is now really starting to bleed into my content. We've had several streams lately where I'm having to shut down live chat, turn off in-stream features, have no music etc. All because the CPU is bottlenecking... the problem is my motherboard is essentially tapped out. I have essentially no room for upgrading in a way that'd make any difference to performance.

Current PC:
Motherboard - MSI A88XI AC
CPU - AMD A10-7850K
Ram - 8gb 2133mhz Corsair Value DDR3
PSU - Unbranded Chinese thing (previous one died)
Graphics Card - Nvidia 1050 TI (gifted by a viewer/friend but bottlenecked by the CPU)

Just google any of this and feel free to laugh at the thought of this trying to run Adobe Premiere Pro or OBS Studio with any game lol.

-------------

So I've put together TWO lists for a pc. One is the dream pc I'll get together eventually - or unless Mr. Beast suddenly becomes a viewer - and the other is the "budget" pc with some future proofed parts for the dream pc upgrades, while still allowing a vast improvement and stability going forward in content for you.

Budget Goal PC:
Motherboard - Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite (£213)
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (£125)
Ram - 16gb 3600mhz Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB DDR4 (£100)
PSU - EVGA SuperNova 750 P2 (£120)
Graphics Card - Nvidia 1050 TI (re-use current card)
Boot & App Drive - 256gb Gigabyte SSD (re-use current)

This set up would provide the Motherboard & PSU needed to easily handle all planned upgrades, plus a good start to the ram which would eventually upgrade to 32gb. It makes use of anything I can re-use from my current build and gives me a last gen CPU that won't be bottlenecked by my graphics card, but at the same time wouldn't be a waste. Anything stronger wouldn't be worth while until my graphics card was updated anyway.

Dream PC:
Motherboard - Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite (£213)
CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 3950X (£620 est, releases this month)
Ram - 32gb 3600mhz Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB DDR4 (£200)
PSU - EVGA SuperNova 750 P2 (£120)
Graphics Card - Nvidia 2070 SUPER (£500) or AMD 5700 XT (£400)
Boot & App Drive - 512gb Samsung 970 EVO Pro (£148)

This is what I intend to build and IF we somehow surpass the Goal PC amount, then anything extra will go towards something here. Priority order being 1. Graphics. 2. Boot Drive. 3. Ram. 4. CPU.

-----------------

If the campaign isn't successful then whatever is donated will go into the primary piece first, the Motherboard, as without that I can't do anything anyway.

Thanks for checking the campaign out!
