Hi I'm looking to upgrade my PC and was looking for some advice. I didn't know where to post this so I figure here is as good as anywhere.

I've been streaming from my PS4 and XB1 and would like to start streaming from my PC.

What's the minimum/cheapest hardware I would need to run say World of Warcraft at ultra settings while streaming?

I already have a Radeon 6870. That should be a powerful enough GPU right?

I was thinking about buying a i5 and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. Would that be sufficient specs or should I spring for something more powerful?

Thanks for the advice guys.

I think the only game I played for the entirety of 2005 was World of Warcraft.

I dunno if I would recommend buying one. I bought one and about 50% of games aren't compatible. I particularly wanted to play Uncharted Golden Abyss or Gravity Rush neither of which are compatible. Really all you can play on it is a bunch of indie games.

Ask yourself two questions.

1.) Do I have any friends on Xbox Live or PSN? You can't go wrong going where your friends are.

2.) Another thing to consider is the exclusives. Do you really want to play Halo? How about Bloodborne and Uncharted 4?

Only you know the answers!

I check out the free PS+ and Games for Gold games for them. That's really about it. Few games on my backlog still from years ago that I might still get around to as well.

As far as running a emulator or dusting off my SNES no I don't do that very often. But I will occasionally play a older game that's released like on the virtual console or a Playstation classic on PSN and stuff like that.

I own Titanfall on PC, 360 and Xbox One. I try not to buy the same game multiple times often though.

I own a Xbox One and a Wii U and I've barely played both. I kind of feel like I wasted my money on them. There's been very few games released on them so far and most of those were available on last gen, PC or were panned so I kind of wish I had waited and maybe picked them up a few years down the line when there's more games and maybe a price drop or redesign or bundle or something.

I'm a huge fan of the FPS genre especially high mobility class based one's so I'm glad Blizzard is finally coming to that genre.

It was kind of funny when they announced it though. First they showed like concept art and I was like "WTF they're this early in production they don't even have a cinematic trailer?" then they showed a cinematic trailer and I was like "WTF they're this early in development they don't even have a gameplay trailer?" then they showed a gameplay trailer and I was like "okay this is cool" lol.

I never really understood this either. I've never heard anyone say "I don't watch movies" or "I don't listen to music". I don't see how video games are any different from movies or music but I hear people say they don't play video games all the time.
