Help me build the ultimate streaming pc?

Hey, LTT Community :D

 

I'm eventually going to need a Streaming pc capable of doing the following.

  • Streaming 1080p 60fps
  • Hosting 2 VM's as well as the main "Stream" Its self (These VM's will need at least 2 cores and their own dedicated graphics card, this does not have to be as powerful as the main machines graphics card.)
  • A minimum of 500GB SSD for the boot/vm drive (This will store all the programs for both VM's and the Main PC)
  • 3x 2TB HDDs for Media and file sharing between the VM's and main machine.
  • A substantial amount of PCIE and USB slots/ports (Enough for all 2/3 Graphics Cards + some Black Magic Design card(s)
  • Dual Ethernet Connections (One to connect to a lan connection and the other to the Internet (for streaming)

 

This PC will be used for Large Scale media production, like ESL, MLG, FaceIT ect. The easier the case it to pickup/haul about the easier. 

 

Pricing isn't really an issue, just don't go stupid :P

 

Thanks a lot guys <3

lol that's a ridiculous machine right?

 

But that price includes peripherals. Without peripherals or a custom WC loop, you'll probably be looking at around $4000-5000 USD

Here's what I've come up with so far:

 

Seems that PC Part Picker doesn't let you put different graphics cards in the same build, so you'll have to pick those out manually.

Also, do you need more than 3 PCIe slots?

Finally, looks like I overestimated a bit on the price ;)

(Oh and you'll probably need extra SATA cables I don't  know how many the MOBO includes)

Wow, nice man. I'd probably need around 6 PCIe Slots. 3 for Graphics cards, and 3 for Capture cards :/

DAMN SIX?

 

You're gonna need a server board for that lol

Do you really need 3 capture cards? What about USB capture card(s)?

I've researched it, most USB capture cards can only take one input and if you try to use more than one of the same model the pc will only see 1 of them.

Could probably do with 4 PCIe Slots and use a couple of external capture cards
