Xeon for streaming PC?

[OddsCrazyStuff]

I will be building a dedicated streaming PC.

Will a Xeon work well with programs like Xsplit?

 

Also, I assume the cheap 6 core Xeon E5-2603 V4 would be good enough?

Most likely a 720p stream, as higher seems to get fewer viewers without quality settings available on Twitch.

are you gaming on the system too or is it just streaming? because if its just streaming a quadcore should be enough.

Can you please explain a little bit more about your setup?

 

As far as I can understand is that you have one PC where you will play games and other one which will stream your content to Twitch. I also assume that the streaming PC has some sort of a capture card. Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

In the situation which I've described, some non K 4 core HT i7 is more than enough.

Actually I'd gravitate towards a core i7 if you could. Possibly a 6 core core i7.

 

1080p would be way better than 720p and I think the quality has no correlation to viewership numbers.

I plan on just this PC just for streaming, maybe encoding videos. I game on another PC.

 

The reason why I want some power on it, is because it seems to be a few ways to send "raw" video over the network. So it can potentially get a 4520x2560 stream to encode, if everything allows it.

I have sent video in 1080 before and a lot of people didnt have the bandwidth to view it. But I guess its tweakings to be made, once everything is setup.

 

The reason I dont go for the i7-5820k is that my dual motherboard case will only have 1 PSU, meaning I wont overclock the streaming pc.

So I figured a Xeon would be better overall.

 

I can get the 8 core, 16 thread Intel Xeon E5-2620 V4, but not sure which socket " FCLGA2011-3" is.
