Most gamers stream from a dedicated gaming desktop or laptop PC, although some prefer to use Macs. Although many gamers play games on Xboxes or PS4s, these are not as suitable for streaming. Because you are both playing your game, and also broadcasting your play, you need a reasonably powerful machine. Twitch recommends at least an Intel Core i5-4670 processor (or its AMD equivalent), 8GB of RAM, and Windows 7 or newer. Ideally, you should have a quality graphics card and a fast internet connection.
