Planning A Streaming Only Build

[Graphic Sauce Media]

I'm planning a new PC build and I have a few questions about this specific type of PC.

 

I want to start off by saying that I will only be using this pc to stream from. This device will not be used for games or editing. I'm a wedding videographer who has started to offering wedding streaming as an add on service. My original plan was to take my current PC to use as a work station. However the thought of lugging around the full system A) sounds like too much extra work and B) is very risky for the amount of money I spent on it. So i figured I would build a more portable streaming build that I will take with me on the job.

I will be using four 4k mirrorless cameras (via HDMI) into Blackmagic ATEM Pro which will out put the signal from a USB C into the computer. Audio will be paired with one of the cameras. I will need a wifi enabled motherboard. 

I found a case that I really like, Silverstone SG05BB-450 Mini ITX. I like it because it small and portable. (i'm not completely sold on the case I just like the small form factor. I'm up for suggestions.)

I also found a Gigabyte X570 AORUS Pro Wifi Mini ITX Motherboard to pair with the case.

 

My goal is to output a 1080p stream between 30-60 fps.

I'll be using Xsplit to broadcast.

All of the camera input switching will be done with the ATEM Pro hardware.

 

My first question is with this being a streaming only workstation can I get by with something like a AMD Ryzen 5 3400G and no graphics card?

If I do go with the onboard graphics I'm guessing I will probably need more than 16 gigs of ram?

If I need Xsplit to record the broadcast locally would that make a difference in my build?

Is it worth the extra month to put a NVMe SSD in this system or would a standard M.2 SSD be just find?

 

Thanks for the help. It is greatly appreciated. - Joe

I think for the mainboard a B450 option would be the wiser (and cheaper) choice for your needs.

Thanks for the feedback, when I drop in a  MSI B450I Gaming Plus AC Mini ITX AM4 ($129.99), I get a compatibility error from PC Part picker. Is that just saying the bios may need updated or are they truly not compatible?
