Please note:
These figures are realistic performance estimates rather than
guaranteed benchmark results. Actual FPS can vary depending on the
processor, memory, drivers, game updates, background applications,
cooling, selected map and individual game settings. Ray tracing,
shaders, resolution scaling and frame generation can also
significantly change performance.
Integrated graphics estimates assume 16GB of dual channel 3200MHz memory. Systems using single channel memory or slower RAM may deliver substantially lower integrated graphics performance.

Meet The Stream Sidekick Mini ITX
The Pink Parsnip Stream Sidekick Mini ITX is the compact cube version of our dedicated streaming PC bundle.
It is built for streamers, content creators and live gamers who already have a main gaming rig, but want a small second PC to manage the stream.
Your main PC focuses on the game. The Sidekick Mini handles TikTok Live Studio, OBS Studio, Discord, Kick, Twitch, TikFinity, alerts, chat, capture and stream tools.
Same Sidekick idea, smaller footprint
This is not designed to replace your main high end gaming PC. It is designed to support it.
If your gaming PC is trying to run your game, TikTok Live Studio, OBS, Discord, overlays, alerts, browser sources and chat all at the same time, it can start to feel messy, even if the PC itself is powerful.
The Stream Sidekick Mini moves the stream workload onto a dedicated compact PC, helping your main rig focus on gaming while your viewers get a smoother stream.
Built for smooth 1080p streaming
The Stream Sidekick Mini is designed around smooth 1080p streaming workflows for creators using TikTok Live Studio, OBS Studio, Kick, Twitch, Discord and similar tools.
It has the important ingredients for a dedicated stream PC: 32GB RAM, a capable Ryzen 5 processor, NVMe storage, and NVIDIA NVENC support through the GTX 1660 Super.
Compact Cube Case
Built inside the SilverStone Sugo SG13B Mini ITX cube case, giving you a proper small form factor stream box.
32GB RAM
Ideal for stream software, browser sources, Discord, alerts, overlays and multitasking without also running your game.
NVIDIA NVENC
The GTX 1660 Super includes NVIDIA NVENC, which is widely supported by streaming software and ideal for this job.
What can it manage?

Capture hub included
This bundle includes a J5Create Video Capture USB Hub, giving you a simple capture solution straight out of the box.
- HDMI input for capturing video from your gaming setup
- USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection
- UVC standard, so no driver installation is required
- Supports capture up to 4K 30fps
- Supports capture up to 2K 60fps
- Supports capture up to 1080p 120fps
- Compact aluminium design
Important capture note
For most 1080p streaming setups, the included capture hub is a fantastic option. If you are using a high refresh 1440p or 4K gaming monitor setup, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether a premium capture solution would be better for your exact setup.

Can it be used as a gaming PC too?
Yes. Although the Stream Sidekick Mini ITX is mainly designed as a dedicated second streaming PC, it is also more than capable of being used as a compact budget gaming PC.
With a Ryzen 5 processor, 32GB RAM and a GTX 1660 Super 6GB graphics card, it can handle plenty of popular games at sensible 1080p settings. Its main purpose, however, is to manage your stream while your main gaming PC handles the actual gameplay.
Why choose the Mini ITX version?
- Compact cube design
- Ideal for smaller desks and tighter setups
- Same dedicated stream PC concept in a smaller case
- 32GB RAM for creator multitasking
- GTX 1660 Super with NVIDIA NVENC support
- J5Create capture hub included
- Front PWM intake fan for better airflow
- 750W semi modular power supply
A few honest notes
