Well i'm going to describe my streaming setup as well as I can. I use 2 computers to do this since my tower isn't powerful enough to do it on its own. (Picture 1) I had a laptop I didn't get much use out of so I decided to give it something to do. (currently underneath my right secondary monitor on picture 2)

My primary computer is a i5 2500K CPU that runs at 3.3 Ghz with 4 cores, its has 8 GBs of DDR3 Corsair Vengence 1600 Mhz ram, a XFX AMD Radeon 7850 with 1 GB of dedicated GDDR5 ram. I have a 2 TB hard drive that runs everything inside the primary computer and I have a razer abyssus mouse that I play with. I run this computer with Windows 7 as the operating system.

My Laptop is just about the same in terms of tech, it runs on a i5 3210m with 4 cores that run at 2.5 Ghz at normal operation. It can automatically overclock to as high as 2.85 Ghz if needed which it normally does. It also has 8 Gbs of ram inside but I don't know any specifics about the ram. The video card on the laptop is an ASUS Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M with 2 GB of GDDR5 ram. It has a 500 GB hard drive in 2 partions, 1 for the OS the other for everything else. This laptop runs using Windows 8.1

Well now that the hardware is out of the way it is time to turn to the software I use for this setup. Use a couple different program to have my laptop stream so i can play games on the other.

first I use TeamSpeak 3 as a way to transfer voice and sound from one computer to the other. I'm basically using TS3 as a VoIP relay that transfers sound from the tower to the laptop but it is still even more complicated then that. Neither computer as a standalone sound card for audio so I use a program called Vitural Audio cable to spilt my audio going out and in to my laptop. Line 1 is for all audio that is sound related and Line 2 is all voice related.

Edit #1: That black box on top on my tower is an Elgato Game Capture HD that takes HDMI signals and tranfers it to an USB out to be used by my laptop as a signal input in OBS.
