I'm looking at building a spare PC as a media server/twitch streaming PC. I'll be getting a few bits from the MM as a result, as I've no need for brand new things but I was wondering, is maybe going AMD here the better option for budget/CPU processing.
There is no chance the PC will be used as any kind of dedicated gaming machine, it'll be a pure work horse but it needs to be able to cope with stream encoding to twitch aswell as encoding to local devices from plex or any other media server.
I think an i5 2500k would be fine but perhaps there is something better AMD for this?
Pref needs to have onboard video so there is no need for a gpu.
Ideas?
