Help Me Get a New Computer for Streaming
Donation protected
In June 2020, I began my streaming journey with a $1,500 PC and a dream. At the time, I knew the computer I purchased wouldn’t last long into my streaming career, but due to the chip shortage, my unemployment, and my eagerness to start, I decided to go with an average pre-built system.
While it has served me well over the past four years, I've encountered increasing issues over the last year and a half. My computer’s motherboard is slowly failing, it's underpowered for my essential streaming accessories, and I've faced internet problems related to the motherboard (despite upgrading my internet and getting Ethernet). Additionally, the system is becoming too outdated to play new games like Silent Hill 2. I finally decided to take it to a trusted repair shop. After getting it cleaned, running diagnostics, and extensive research, the best solution is to build a completely new computer.
With this new setup, I’ll be able to deliver much higher-quality streams, enhance my non-streaming work, and generally improve my life. Unfortunately, maintaining smooth, visually appealing streams without delay is becoming increasingly difficult. Although I don’t expect to raise the full amount, any support will help me continue pursuing my passion for streaming. I’m eager to recommit to streaming without the ongoing, demoralizing technical issues.
