Hello here is my third build to complete my 2 gaming PC :)
I'm from Canada and I want to stream in a single window 2 computer in 1080p30.
What I wanna do is kinda new but in fact what I really need is a video card that will be able to run 2 inputs of 1080p. There is no set budget because I really want it to be cheap!
I might be interrested in really cheap used part too.

Here is what I have from spare parts that i got for the build.

2 AVerMedia Game Broadcaster HD // new
intel 2500k // used
western digital scorpio black 750gb for laptop 2.5" form factor // new
samsung 1080p screen // used
keyboard/mouse/etc // used


What I need :
Case
mobo
ram (2x4gb) might use gskills
PSU
GPU (not too power hungry is possible, if not then I dont care)
dvd-drive



I will buy from canadacomputer, nc!x and newegg.ca


THANKS !!!!
 
What exactly are you streaming?

Some additional questions:
2) What's your max budget? Are tax and shipping included?
6) Will you be overclocking?
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? UEFI? etc.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
 
I will stream video games, mostly CS:GO but it doesnt really mather at this point because my GPU in my gaming computer will already do all the job. Let's just say that this computer needs to be able to run 2 youtube video in 1080p at the same time without lagging.


2) What's your max budget? Are tax and shipping included?
No budget, keep it low, under 400$ for all

6) Will you be overclocking?
no

9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? UEFI? etc.
Only two pci spot for my 2 pci streaming card

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
yes 64bit
 
If you're just building a PC to watch two youtube videos at once, you don't need that much power. GPU wise, you just need the HD 6670 at the most. Though the onboard GPU of the 2500K should be enough.

For the motherboard and case, go for these:

http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_112&item_id=040404

PSU wise, go for the tried and true Corsair CX430:

RAM wise,. go for the cheapest 8GB of RAM you can find.
 
thanks, might have found some interresting deal in used parts so, i might help the community!
 
Found some good deal on the market here!! Now i need a PSU and Ram

Lemme know if you have this for sell!!!
 
I could have went with stuff less overkill than that but would have saved around 100$ so I didnt care at this point!

I bought only the GPU and mobo used 160$ shipped to canada. Thanks SainRuB !!!

Msi radeon 6950 2gb
Msi P67a-gd65
Still 1 year warranty on both

Since I really want something cheap, i will have to deal with MIR :( but anyway, its for a good cause

Antec case 20$
Antec hcg-620 modular 50$
Gskills 2x4gb 1600 73$
Dvd-rom 17$
Shipping 20$
Taxes 10$

What I had for free but estimated used price
2500k 150$
Hdd 50$

Total with taxes and shipping around 550$

Not too bad considering this computer is almost like my 2.5 years old 2500k that cost me around 1300$ and can play lots of games in 1080p with good quality!

P67? Is that motherboard a B3 revision?

I'm serious. Initial-release P67 boards had a chipset flaw that caused the SATA controller to degrade and be unusable over time. The Z68 chipset, which was released a year later, didn't have that flaw.

Mail-in rebates aren't the same as instant discounts. You aren't saving money that way.

Where are you getting those prices (for the new items) from?
 
Yes its B3 and still 1 year of warranty left.

Even without MIR, the price were really low! So its just a bonus but lets say ill get around 50$ for 2 items (30$ for case and 20 for PSU).
Case is antec gx700. Bottom PSU and black paint inner.
