Build for streaming and rendering.

[Pierre3400]

Hey guys,
I have a streamer buddy looking to build a new system for this purpose.

He has 1800usd, lives in Atlanta, so its all in USD.

I have been out of the game for so long now that i need help on putting together a good system for him.

He needs Case + internals, wants a beastly CPU for rendering.

What would you guys recommend as a full system?

GPU needs to be around 2060 or what ever they call the top mid tear these days. RTX not needed. SSD and a possibly a checky HDD for storage. Case, he dont care, cheapest out there.

What would you guys say?

Ryzen 2700X CPU with 32gb of DDR4 3200 mhz Samsung "B" die RAM, big SSD.

Does he need a display or does he already have the peripherals?

Thank you guys for replies. He did say he wanted 32gb ram, and the 2080rtx is overkill for him.
All displays and everything is sorted, needs to support 3 monitors, and for good measure, it would be a great idea with a capture card.
