In this live stream I’m building a gaming PC while I’m actively streaming, and the whole point is to pressure-test the big question everyone keeps asking: how much RAM do you actually need heading into 2026? I’m not doing the usual “just buy the most” advice. I’m talking through what I look for when I’m building a system that has to game, stream, and not randomly choke when you’ve got a bunch of stuff open in the background. I also weave in the streaming side—because RAM needs change fast when you add OBS, browser sources, chat, music, and whatever else you’re running while you play. This is one of those sessions where you can hang out, ask questions live, and see the build process and streaming workflow at the same time. If you want more of these live build-and-test streams, I’m on Twitch every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8PM EST, and all my links are in one place so you can follow wherever you want.
