Livestreaming Hardware

[TechFanboy]

Hey Guys =))

 

Just want to ask if you have worked in a production or live events, I'm thinking of making a rig for livestreaming.. Not games, just events. I came up with this specs 

Intel 4790k or new 5820k or Xeon.... I will need probably more cores? or just threads? Not sure but currently i am using an i5 with 8 gb ram and streaming to ustream with wirecast, the problem here is that the cpu readings there is maxed out.. around 90% average and 95% max and it is just one camera with 1080p.

I need to be able to switch 4 cameras using wirecast, now if you will tell me to buy a production switcher it will cost me alot than this solution, i saw one like a roland vr4-ex i think around 2000$ and it has 4 inputs but 3 of those hdmi is a standard def only not full 1080p, so i guess this solution is more practical.  

Im planning to put a nice capture card that can handle mutliple inputs & multi-card support.. a blackmagic decklink mini i think. those with HMDI & SDI... Around 150$ on newegg.

Glad you could help me thanks =D

Well a better CPU definitely for the video encoding so try going with a better CPU like you said a xeon would be useful.

Although on the other hand you could a out of system encoder.

A system encoder? hmm will it be enough? .
