hi everybody we are back with the next installment of the twitch PC build
series that we've been doing basically last year I decided I wanted to try
twitch streaming for the first time and I said alright I'm gonna build something
using a rise in CPU and we're gonna do this and then many months later Here I
am still finishing it so anyway I'm here on the Mac world studio set it is set up
to look like somebody's living room I am going to pretend it is my living room
because mine does not look nearly as nice as this however I did set up the
desk in the appropriately a cramped configuration here because it is San
Francisco nobody has space let's get started I'm
just gonna set up the build and the desk the way I would for the actual stream
we're gonna start with my PC which I built in a previous installment so one
thing that I discovered though when I pulled it out was somebody has gone
reading I'm gonna have to do a little extra work after this video before I do
the software stuff but it'll happen I'm sure oh the 2700 X it's cooler the RAM
storage everything is somewhere in the lab I just have to find it
next is monitor I don't have anything fancy I just grabbed something from my
desk which is one of the spare office style Dells nothing fancy it's nothing
great I would not recommend it as a gaming monitor but it'll do and so on
the last installment we talked about some of the other mm let's say
accessories purple extra things that I would need for streaming to twitch I've
made some decisions so the first one was the audio decision so I'm just going to
go with the HyperX cloud that I have and I use on a daily basis it's pretty
comfortable I like it quite a bit umm I'm not gonna use it for the
microphone though I don't really like having something right at my mouth I
often eat well I'm at my desk so it's just kind of a habit I've gotten into
not having a microphone blocking my my my face for the microphone I'm going to
use a blue Yeti nano which is something we've had around the office but I've
never had a chance to try I have the full-size Yeti at home and I'm actually
curious to see how well this will pick up and if it functions just as well as
the gigantic one I mean it's not that much bigger but it does save on some
desk space which is nice webcam I'm going with the perennial favorite the
c920 I think I have actually a C 922 at home I might bring that in for the
stream if I remember otherwise I'll just stick with what's tried-and-true as we
all know from the last video I'm gonna be using a controller to game so I
figured just to make it ultra clear that I'm using a controller I'm gonna use
wireless peripherals to actually operate my PC so here's my this is the closest
thing I had to a twitch purple yeah so it's just this really cheap overly
cutesy wireless mouse and then I have a much nicer k810 I think this is one of
the Logitech wireless keyboards that supports bluetooth which is pretty nice
so that'll handle any typing and I need to do any Mouse work etc then of course
my controller I prefer an Xbox controller style layout there's an Xbox
one controller so I probably use that it might be sacrilege to say but I actually
prefer the 360 still the controller it's a little rounder in the back so I find
it more comfortable the last thing is the chair which I'll try to roll out
quietly it's just gonna be an office chair
nothing fancy I decided that Adams gaming chair is not for me it is too
large Adam is a large man I am NOT a large man
so there you have it so this will be a setup I just need to actually put the
wires together and you know make sure that I have a CPU a GPU and an actual
functional build so I can you know mess with the software speaking of
I'm going to try OBS I told Adam this and he said really so that means that I
probably should set aside a good chunk of the afternoon for that is my guess
there's a good tutorial I think that one of my colleagues wrote on PC world so
I'll have a look at that walk you guys my walk through get it set up I might
cry uncle and choose something else but I figure if it's free a lot of people
like it and it's got a lot of functionality to it I may as well try to
learn how to use it I always have the option of tapping out right Oh last
thing so for lighting I looked at a bunch of
options with Adam and Dan in the background they nerd it out so hard it
was a whole new world that I didn't know existed I just guess there's more for me
to learn but I'm gonna go with a cheaper option I'll probably get a couple of
like it's like $40 umbrellas that we were talking about maybe if I'm feeling
like I want to splurge I'll get they like the LED grid thing but that's maybe
like a three-fold increase in price so we'll see how I'm feeling when it comes
time to press buy I'm a little nervous about the lights though like Adam showed
me the elgato one which like mounts to the table I really like those until he
told me the setup with two lights would cost me $400 and that was it was kind of
a no at that point but I like that because I'm pretty klutzy and I could
totally see myself after I'm done with the stream getting up and just walking
out and tripping over one of the stands and just completely killing it yeah um
so the next video is going to be the actual software so I'm just gonna walk
through it let you all watch me there probably will be a lot of swearing
involved if OBS is as bad as everyone says it is we'll find out in the
meantime be sure to subscribe you'll get notified when that video goes live and
stay tuned catch y'all soon
