Help Cliff FINALLY build a real streaming PC

Hi everyone! Cliff Hines here! As you all know I've been valiantly trying to stream on my aging macs and they are simply just not up to the task of streaming, let alone all the cool things we want to do on stream (guitar sekiro, alternate controllers, mods, emulators, overlays, streamerbot, ai shenanigans). Prof is going to help me source parts and build a cool PC on the cheap, not sure yet how much our budget will be so we'll start off at 500 and see how much more we need after that. Thanks to everyone for y'alls support and kind words! Really excited about what kind of streaming we can deliver with a real, solid set up.
