People ask about my gear all the time, so here's the whole rundown: the dual-PC build, the streaming setup, and how it all came together. Nothing here happened overnight.
Full itemized lists (with everything I use, past and present) live in my storefronts, linked at the bottom. This is the highlight reel.
I didn't start with any of this. If you're just getting going with a webcam held together by hope, I've been there. Here's the actual path.
No mic, no webcam, no overlays. Just me streaming Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag straight off a PlayStation 4, learning as I went.
Added the PSVR headset and leaned into horror in virtual reality, screaming my way through Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and scaring myself silly on camera.
Made the jump to a proper PC setup. One machine doing everything: gaming and streaming at once, pushing it as hard as it would go.
Two dedicated machines, one for gaming and one for streaming. A massive jump in quality and reliability, and the setup I run today.
The machine that actually runs the games. Built to push horror and variety titles at high settings without breaking a sweat, so the scares hit the way they're meant to.
Everything running the game itself, tuned for high frame rates and clean visuals.
A second machine dedicated entirely to streaming. It handles all the encoding and broadcasting, which frees the game PC to focus purely on the game. The whole reason a dual-PC setup looks and runs so much cleaner.
Dedicated to encoding and broadcasting, so neither job ever fights the other for resources.
The pieces people ask about most: cameras, lights, mics, and the little control decks that keep everything running while I'm screaming at a monitor.
Elgato Facecam for the face, lit by an Elgato Key Light Air. Clean, consistent, and flattering even when I'm mid-jumpscare.
Elgato Wave DX XLR mic on an Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro, dialed in for the best possible voice quality on stream.
A Blue Snowball desk mic on the game PC, handling in-game voice chat separately from the main stream audio.
Two of them: an Elgato Stream Deck XL and a Stream Deck MK.2, running scenes, sounds, and redemptions on the fly.
An Elgato HD60 X passes the game PC's output over to the stream PC. The bridge that makes the dual-PC setup work.
A Secretlab Titan Evo XL. The chair that keeps me going through those marathon horror sessions.
Five screens keep the game, the stream dashboards, chat, and everything else in view at once.
165Hz. Main gameplay screen.
Chat, dashboards, and monitoring.
On HUANUO wall mounts, up top for extras.
Want the complete, itemized rundown with buy links, including everything above plus all the cables, mounts, and odds and ends? It's all in my storefronts. Shopping through them sends a little back to the stream at no extra cost to you.
The full setup: both PC builds, monitors, mics, cameras, peripherals, cables, and every past-and-present component I've used for streaming. This is the comprehensive one.
