Hi, so I am looking at setting up a secondary streaming pc, my main pc is a r71700 and gtx 1050ti so enough for gaming but not really quality streaming aswell,
and I have 2 spare pc's for the purpose of making a streaming pc via a capture card from my main pc. One is an i5 6400 the other is a xeon e5 1650. I will pair them with an rx460 to remove any gpu limitations (though amd's encoder isnt the best, which is why i want to go x264). so its 4 newer cores or 6 core 12 threads of older xeon. I am aiming for medium quality or as close as I can get with the pc just doing the encoding.
Which cpu would be best for this, or would there be much of a difference? if i go with the xeon the psu needs its fan changing as the old hp z420 psu's have very loud fans (if anyone has tips for this also please let me know), which is why i want to consider both systems.
Thanks in advance
