JustAnEngineer wrote:Too expensive.Your typical DSL user doesn't have enough bandwidth available to even view a 1080p60 video. ATSC broadcast HDTV is just 1080i or 720p60. You're really pushing for an extreme niche. The $$$$ boxes that ESPN uses to stream their remote sports coverage get very good reviews and are capable of 1080p60. You might look at some of those. (Incidentally, they use Intel QuickSync.)
JustAnEngineer wrote:That's pretty damn rude, you know? I didn't post one thing that was an "unsubstantiated opinion", and you were posting off-topic in regards to my posts; I thought you might not have realized that I'm not talking about streaming over the internet, which would only happen if you 1) didn't read/understand my post, or 2) did read/understand it and forgot, or got confused. I don't care if you or anyone else agrees with me or not; I don't see why you even brought that up! I wasn't posting opinions at all!Just because someone doesn't voice agreement with the unsubstantiated opinions that you have posted does not mean that they have not read the words.

If you have to have a PC before then and you're near a Micro Center, you can get a great combination deal with the Core i5-3570K and the ASRock Z77 Pro4-M motherboard. If you go with ATX, the Asus P8Z77-V LK is a good motherboard for a reasonable price even before the terrific bundle from Micro Center.Proposed streaming PC setup, separate from my main build obviously.
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz
ASRock Z77 Pro4

I'm trying to build a separate PC for streaming as well as simply capturing gameplay. I may be completely off base here but my intention is to run something like OBS on the stream build and let it handle the actual act of streaming while I play on my main build. That way I'm not stressing the CPU by running the game, a browser, AND the streaming software. I don't know if that sounds ridiculous, that's just what I've taken away from talking with people.
As for the capture aspect of it I'm looking at getting an elgato (USB cap device) and the AverMedia Live Game HD cap card for the PC. Just for recording console games/streaming console games.

HOLD UP! Maybe I was just too thick to realize this before but if I spend the dough for a 6 core i7-3930k do I need a separate stream PC at all? Can the 3930K handle it by itself?

Buying tech that old, this close to Haswell's lauch seems like shooting your own foot.

That's been in the back of my mind this whole time. I've changed my mind at least half a dozen times in the last two months regarding exactly what I want. I'm trying wait things out at this point. Once Haswell launches though I'll weigh my options, I just can't help tinkering with what's currently available. Trying to gain knowledge.
Bensam123 wrote:It's unfortunate that there is no real word on when IB-E will come out besides later this year though... I'm pretty sure a mainstream haswell processor still wont hold a candle to a SB hex core in terms of raw computational power, but it may surprise. It's always an option of building a capture PC and then a haswell system too.

--The monitor is a BenQ XL2420T 24" that a friend suggested. It's gotten great reviews so his recommendation seems validated.
