Computer Hardware and Components

Now to bring it all together with the best computer hardware and components that enable you to capture, streamline, and make it happen.

Elgato Stream Deck

Your setup is important, for quick convenience, style, look, and feel. Whether you are broadcasting and editing to designing, developing, networking, pretty much anything you do. It’s nice to have a single device for you to control your apps and tools. A Stream Deck from Elgato is the way to go. It gives you push button control, customizable to your needs, to have instant access to start your apps and tools. It takes a complicated world of your recording studio and simplifies it. Like an all in one remote for your living room, only better.

Video Capture Card

If you plan to stream or record game play as part of your studio offering, a video capture card is a must. The HD60 S+ video capture card made by Elgato is the card you need to add to your studio. We prefer the external card because it is easy to use, and requires no physical installation inside of your computer. Just hook up a few cabes and you are ready to start streaming to Twitch or recording for YouTube. The HD60 S+ lets you play your high fidelity Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One X, PS5 and PS4 Pro games in stunning 4K60 HDR10 quality with absolute zero latency.

Computers

You are going to need some serious processing power to create and process your content. These top end gaming PC’s, laptops, desktop towers, and all in one PC’s will get the job done.

Gaming PC

Gaming PC’s require lots of horsepower under the hood, so they are a bit more expensive. With the beefed up components, they are also great for making videos and content creation to get the best of both worlds. We recommend the NEW HP OMEN 40L Gaming Desktop GT21-0350st. It has the latest Windows 11 operating system, the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 Processor, the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 video card, 8 GB Memory, and 512 SSD storage. The SSD storage is steady state, meaning it’s quiet with no moving parts so it lasts longer with less risk of failure or data loss. We recommend you upgrade the memory to atleast 16GB when you customize your order, and if you have the extra cash you can bump up the processor or add additional hard drive space. This gaming PC is a powerhorse as built, but at a minimum we always recommend 16GB of memory.

Desktop Computer Tower

The HP ENVY Desktop TE01-2275xt PC, or insert model here as they are always releasing new models. If they have a new model, get that, but make sure it has atleast 16GB of memory to handle your conent creation. For ultimate looks and amazing graphics, I recommend the gaming PC above, but if that’s a bit out of the budget, this PC here is a real powerhorse. Always upgrade the Memory, Video Card, Processor, and Hard Drive to the best levels you can fit into your budget.

All In One PC

The All In One computers are nice, keep everythign on your counter or desk organized and neat with less cables. I prefer a standard desktop for my workspace, but really like the All In One on my kitchen counter or for the kids. The HP Pavilion All-in-One 27-d0230z comes with the latest Windows 11, an AMD Ryzen™ 7 processor, AMD Radeon™ Graphics, 16 GB of memory, a 1 TB HDD storage, and a 256 GB SSD. All the specs are great, with no upgrades necessary, though upgrades make it even better!

Laptop

Laptops are convenient, but I do not recommend one for your creator studio. I recommend it for on the road footage and editing, but I like a strong powerhorse gaming PC for my content creations station. The HP Spectre x360 Convertible Laptop 15t-eb100 touch is the ultimate laptop. It comes with the latest Windows 11 Pro, the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 processor, Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, 16 GB onboard memory, and a 512 GB Intel® SSD. No upgrades are necessary as this thing is a beast, but as always, upgrade what you can and it will be even better!
