As many people spend time watching YouTube, interest in YouTubers has increased significantly. There are many fields in which videos are uploaded after editing on a computer or tablet using one’s smartphone or video device, but recently, basic streaming is done through YouTube using a single high-performance computer, and the real-time streaming video can be downloaded or uploaded to the computer at the same time as streaming. There are many fields where videos are saved and some of the videos are edited and uploaded during streaming time. The latter, that is, the case of uploading additional video edits after real-time streaming, is expanding to many fields. Following the gaming field, it is expanding to sports-related YouTubers such as baseball and soccer. The reason why this atmosphere is going beyond the gaming field to the sports field is because of the “copyright” held by sports broadcasting. Therefore, everything that shows or listens to sports through one’s own channel, including the Premier League and recent professional baseball, is a copyright violation. So, the common story is that there are more and more sports YouTubers who are “going live.”
The gaming field is probably the field where there are significantly fewer copyright issues regarding streaming or video content. As a result, there are quite a few YouTubers who naturally broadcast their favorite games in real time and later upload other content through post-editing. So, at the current point in time, how much computer hardware is needed to build a streaming environment like this? Today, Brainbox rented a demo system to YouTubers who upload real-time streaming and post-edited videos on YouTube, and prepared content that allows users to compare the experience with their own computers. Let’s find out how actual YouTubers feel about the latest computer hardware.

I am a streamer who has been broadcasting the mobile game Seven Knights 2 for about 3 years. Since the specifications of the game itself are not high, I used to broadcast in 1060 and 1070, but last summer, I changed to 3060 for around 1 million won and was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to broadcast with the specifications you sent me. The games I played were Skull and Bones, Welcome to Paradise, and Deep Rock Clan Survival. I was able to see that there was a big difference in basic loading speed and graphics compared to the computer I was using, especially on my computer. When I started playing an existing game with the settings set to , I immediately noticed issues such as loading speed and broken graphics.
In the past, when I purchased and used a regular computer, I purchased it at a reasonable price rather than a high-spec computer, but I thought that it would be better to buy a high-spec computer if I could afford it. Also, when editing, I was able to experience a significant reduction in encoding time that was incomparable with the computer I was using.
We would like to thank the company for giving us this opportunity, and we recommend that those who can afford it purchase and use it.

■ Search “Tooz TV” on YouTube
Tooze TV mainly covers reviews, game guides and tips for various new mobile games, and currently mainly covers Pragia Electric and provides live streaming of the latest mobile games being released. Recently, because there have been few mobile games released, I mainly live stream Prasia Electric about three times a week. If you are curious about Pracia Electric’s training guide, etc., please visit my channel.
After starting YouTube streaming, I continue to stream using a single computer and edit the streaming video using an old computer and upload it to the channel. Fortunately, my main computer was upgraded to Core i9 13900K and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti last year, and I am using it well through a one-computer setup. So, I used this loaned system to replace an old computer used for editing.

I am a streamer gamer whose main content is the Blizzard game Warcraft 3. As Warcraft 3 was remastered, the capacity itself increased compared to the existing classic version, but since it is not a game that requires high specifications and graphics like the latest popular games, it feels like the performance of the PC provided was a waste.
Still, let me tell you about what I felt. First of all, the approximate specifications of my existing PC are Intel Core i9 9900K, GeForce RTX 2080.
1. Although I am a streamer, I am a gamer preparing for competitions, so I often practice games on my own rather than broadcasting. If I was simply running Warcraft 3, I didn’t notice a difference because the load on my PC was low.
2. Then, you need to think about the difference when broadcasting. I was able to feel the difference when doing multiple tasks, such as broadcasting, instead of just one task, putting more load on the PC. There is some lag when starting the game that I felt when playing on an existing PC (I can’t say it’s that big, but from a gamer’s perspective, I can’t give up the desire to gain even 0.1 second more advantage than the opponent), and in the middle of the process, there is a last-hit fight with the opponent against a neutral monster. I think I was able to feel smooth movement in parts like the race to pick up items.
3. This is the PC noise issue, which I personally think is important. Unlike PCs that were popular 5 to 10 years ago due to PC heating issues, recent PCs tend to make more noise due to water-cooled components. The PC provided was quite noisy. The PC I was using was water-cooled so it was noisy, but the PC I received was noisier. However, this only happens when the load increases, such as watching YouTube videos while doing multiple tasks, and I liked how quiet it was in basic situations without even realizing that the PC was turned on. (The PC I used previously made a lot of noise regardless of the work being done.)
It was nice to be able to use a high-spec PC thanks to the PC provided. If there is this much of a difference in a relatively light game like Warcraft 3, I expect that those who play high-end games or edit video will definitely feel a bigger difference. thank you
Streaming, gaming, and later editing all on one computer
First of all, the three most important things for streaming are a processor, graphics card, and NVMe SSD. It is clear that the listed computer peripherals are expensive components that make up a computer, but processors and graphics cards, which are divided into complete grades, require several choices.
Core i7 14700K & GeForce RTX 40 SUPER, NVMe Gen4 x4 2TB
In my opinion, if we consider the cost aspect of the above specifications, it seems better to compromise a little on graphics cards whose prices vary rapidly depending on the grade. Among the recently released GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, 4070 Ti SUPER, or RTX 4080 SUPER, it would be better to choose the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER or GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER rather than the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, which is located in the middle.
In the case of storage, it would be good to focus on these two things. Both Intel and AMD processor systems are fast, and it is recommended to choose NVMe Gen4
And later, when editing a lot of real-time streaming data and transcoding the edited file into a single video file, a high-speed NMVe SSD and high-capacity NVMe SSD are naturally advantageous. Lastly, if you activate the UHD770 graphics core included by default in the Intel Core i7 14700K processor, the preview screen loads quickly when editing in Adobe Premiere, so it is recommended to use it.
