Gaming Channel: What do you need to start?

[karlsanada10]

First of all, you need a CHANNEL so go to youtube.com and make one.

Let's start of with the equipments:

• You need to have a decent PC:

You can go check my thread here:
PC Building thread: Affordable, high-end..whatever! Just post your budget!

​

Basically, all you need to have a decent PC is:​

i3-3220(Haswell doesn't release their i3s yet)​

Any Intel B75m motherboard​

500GB-1TB HDD​

8GB DDR3​

True-rated PSU. preferably 80+ Bronze​

AT least GTX 650 Ti or AMD 7790.​

​

• A screen capture/video recorder

These are the lists of screen capture:

1. Fraps(Lossless quality, huge files)
2. Bandicam(Almost lossless, small files)
3. Action! (Haven't tried)
4. Camtasia (not for fullscreen games, screen capture)
5. Dxtory (Almost lossless,small files, lots of config)
6. Xsplit(More on livestreaming)

• A good headset/mic:

Viewers tend to stay if you have a good audio quality. You can choose either buying
a headset or standalone mic. Standalone mic is much better but the portability is meh.

Actually, maybe you DON'T need games!? A gaming channel without games...that would actually be original!
