Hey guys, I haven't seen anyone posting up about a build for a computer that will be doing Hi Definition console game streaming (or streaming at all for that matter). I've tried streaming with my current computer which is about 3 years old. If I really lower the quality of the stream, it runs smooth, but of course it looks bad. If I up the quality at all, it drops frames... and a lot of them. Also, the cpu usage shoots up to 90-95%. So I guess it's time for a new build..., but I've only had this build for 3 years! Anyway, here's what i'm looking at getting.
Intel Core i7-960 Bloomfield 3.2GHz
ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB
Thats basically the important stuff. The hard drives and everything else that I have in this computer I will put in the new rig. Also, it is important to note that I am streaming with a Black Magic Intensity Pro Capture Card. (This is why I'm deciding to not upgrade my video card. All the video will be going through the Black Magic, so I don't see a reason for it... If I'm wrong... PLEASE let me know.) I think the combination of using that card and streaming together is what my current CPU (Q6600 Kentfield Quad Core 2.40 Ghz) can not handle seem to handle.
I'm not rich, but I do have a little wiggle room with how much i can spend. I'm looking to stream in AT LEAST this quality. I've tried contacting people that are streaming at this high quality and no one has gotten back to me. Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
