This is generously more than enough for handling the Elgato capture card's requirements, and also for some editing.

Which graphics card you want will depend on which monitors you are after (and whether your editing software wants a dGPU or not). You don't need a particularly powerful graphics card at all just for the monitors, but you do need to make sure the resolutions are supported and that you can connect them. So you probably want to decide what monitors you're getting before picking the GPU.

So you need 1 monitor with a low response time for playing the games on console, and 1 monitor for the PC to display the streaming software, etc, right?

What console(s) do you game on?

Als, this article is probably worth a look:

Hi,

Hope its OK to jump on this thread, as my requirements are almost identical to the OP's with only a few minor differences.

I too am looking for something to accompany my PS4 Pro in conjunction with my Elgato HD60 (External Device) and 2 x HP 27 EA Monitors. Although if an internal Elgato would yield better results for performance reasons I would do that and simply sell the external device.

Also, while I am not a PC gamer, I would like it to be able to run games at a reasonable rates but nothing approaching Ultra High quality, an example would be Elite Dangerous.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums :)

I moved this to a new topic to stop advice on specs getting potentially confused.

You can use your existing Elgato as far as I know. It has nearly all the same features: https://www.elgato.com/en/node/767

You could look at the same spec but with an RX 580 GPU, which is one of the best value bang for buck options.
