Compare and Save on the 7 Best Desktops for Twitch and YouTube Streaming Whether you’re just starting out or have been streaming for a while, you may need to upgrade your hardware. Because not every desktop computer is optimized for streaming, the system you’re using now may be limiting the quality of your broadcast — and thus affecting your ability to grow and maintain an audience. All you have to do now is find the best desktop for Twitch or whatever platform you want to use to broadcast on. You don’t have to use a desktop to stream; there are some excellent laptops available, and laptops have the added benefit of being compact and portable. A desktop PC, on the other hand, is easily expandable, can be upgraded over time to improve performance, and allows you to add a massive monitor (or multiple monitors) with ease. But here’s the deal: You don’t have to buy the most expensive computer on the market to get great streaming performance, and you might not even need the horsepower where you think you will. For instance, having a better CPU is more important than having a high-end graphics card (GPU). I’ve rounded up some…
