Okay Christmas is coming up and I have a budget of about 1000 USD for a laptop on which I wish to steram hots at low ingame quality 1280x768 resolution and at 720p on twitch. I know that streaming laptop is an oxymoron but is this at all possible because it seems likely I may only be able to bring a laptop to college. If not possible is there anyway to use $1000 USD to get a desktop capable of streaming at 720p and atleast a decent laptop?

Are you playing on the laptop as well, or just using it for encoding the stream?

Playing and streaming exclusively through the laptop with an external monitor setup.

Maybe possible to do 480p, you won't be able to do 720p with that budget unless you have seriously good internet and work some magic with presets and stuff.

you can prob get a desktop and laptop. Ill put something together and edit it in when im done.

Desktop:

(I know I will probably be scolded by skyR for this but i'm doing it because he wants both a desktop thats capable of streaming and a laptop that is half decent. Most of this stuff is coming from ebay for the sake of saving money.)

CPU: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Core-i5-2400-Processor-Intel-SR00Q-6M-Cache-up-to-3-4-GHz-Quad-Core-/190770158795?pt=CPUs&hash=item2c6ac99ccb

Heatsink/Cooler(CPU was OEM): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Intel-Socket-1155-CPU-Fan-Heatsink-Sandy-Ivy-Bridge-/321039800083?pt=US_CPU_Fans_Heatsinks&hash=item4abf769713

Mobo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ECS-H61H2-M2-LGA-1155-Motherboard-for-Sandy-Ivy-Cpus-Free-expedited-shipping-/181043173034?pt=Motherboards&hash=item2a270396aa

RAM: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-8GB-2-X-4GB-DDR3-1066MHz-PC3-8500-DESKTOP-RAM-1066-/310248826933?pt=US_Memory_RAM_&hash=item483c456835 (Looks offbrand but it works fine. Used it in the last 3-4 pc's of mine.)

Case: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOPOWER-TP-4106BB-Black-SGCC-0-4mm-ATX-Mid-Tower-Computer-Case-/300796990881?pt=US_Computer_Cases&hash=item4608e5d5a1 (not the best looking but will get the job done)

PSU: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CORSAIR-Builder-Series-CX430-430W-ATX12V-v2-3-80-PLUS-BRONZE-Certified-Acti-/290821677652?pt=PCA_UPS&hash=item43b652a254

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769 (i never have and never will buy an HDD from ebay...)

Video Card: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VisionTek-Radeon-HD-6770-1GB-GDDR5-Video-Card-/350664619167?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item51a53d749f

Comes out to be $439.37


Laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230531 (ASUS laptop. nuff said.)

Price for laptop $429.99 + $4.99 shipping

Total price for desktop and laptop (with laptop shipping): $874.35

gogogogogogogogogoo posted above. see if you like it. You can change out the CPU and Motherboard at a later date and get something better. an i5 2400 will do 720p at stock though.

Thx Kami it would be super cool if skyR could look at it and share his thoughts but that's even lower than i was expecting :D.

I got a Lenovo IdeaPad Y480 over this summer and it works great on streaming. Even 1080p. It was around 1000 back then and now I think it is 800

You could stream 1080p on that? I truly dont mean to be ruse but, I don't see that happening. Maybe a decent 720p stream but 1080p? And still have it playable?

You probably can stream 720p on any laptop with a 2 or 3 gen i7

You can stream 720p with less demanding games on a laptop quad, but sc2 will run like shit.

I try to stream at about 540p on my laptop.
I7 3610qm
7750m

playing the game at 1080p and at all low settings.

I wouldn't recommend it though, when I do stream it's running at a pretty high temp, at above 80*C

I do not recommend laptops for streaming unless you get one of these bad boys

With 1000 dollars tax not included you might get a pretty decent desktop.

Okay, ordering the parts today but the CPU is sold and it's about $50 more expensive wherever I find it, is there a better CPU at around a $200 USD price range?
