i3 for recording and streaming at the same time?

[Pahddy]

Just looking for some help. I am wanting to build a new PC for streaming with OBS 720p @30fps and recording with the Avermedia software at the same time. Thus machine will also be used for light gaming along with editing and rendering videos on SONY VEGAS pro 13. I already have RAM that I can use in my current PC aswell as 1 standard SATA drive and GTX 750 Ti I purchased around July. I am willing to spend around £250-300 not including the RAM and graphics card I was thinking about building a mITX build in the Silverstone SG05. Thanks!

Honestly you'll be better off going for an i5, even if it's a "low end" (not that i5s are low end) one like the 4460.

Alright thanks. This is something I was thinking about the i5 as well because I have heard a lot of good things about them, especially about the 4440 and 4460

seriously, amd would be way better for your usecase.

mitx wont be possible but price/performance is a lot better.

I have been looking into the FX series actually because a few on my favourite streams use the 8 cores in their PCs. I know I might now be able to afford the 8 cores but I hope the FX 6300 could do the job!

if you wanna game and stream at the same time you will benefit from the fx 8000 series, the 6000 series is too wreck for anything

If you want to use the iGPU for OBS quicksync. Sure. Who are you streaming for though, no offense but you can't even properly spell shit.

Foreign audience?

It's one of those things most "get an fx8 series for streaming" people fail to recognize. You can use a nvidia gpu for streaming (GTX650 or higher) aswell.

Honestly, the reduction in picturequality won't be noticeable on twitch or even youtube. So CPU is pretty much moot for streaming these days.

i3, obs + quicksync with the record button.

it could.

if you can the 8-core on a discount, go for that one.

more cores will just help a lot when streaming.

Edit: fucking amazon changed the price.
