Okay spec for video capture?

[ubersonic]

Hi guys, I recently got a hold of a used Elgato HD60 Pro and was wanting to build a system around it to rip video from my VCR using OBS. But I know nothing about video capture.

Plan is to have the setup so I can hit record on the PC, hit play in the VCR, then come back to it 6-8 hours later (depending if it's an E-180 or E-240) and hit stop (or set a timer if that's a thing?)

These are the parts I have to hand that I want to use:

CPU: Xeon E5-1660 V3 (8c16t 3.5GHz) - Equivalent to an i7 5960X
RAM: 64GB (4x16GB) DDR4 2133MHz ECC in quad channel
GPU: Nvidia Quadro P1000 4GB
O/S Drive: 1TB Crucial SATA-3 SSD
Working drive: 2TB NVMe Gen3 Enterprise SSD - This is where I would get it to save the files
Additional storage: 16TB iSCSI drive
NIC: 10GbE
Extra: USB-C PCI-E card

Does that sound like it would be able to record from the Elgato at 1440x1080 okay? Or do I need more beef?

Thank you.

if all your doing is ripping video this should be fine, all that would really matter is fast(ish) storage and you have an m.2 so that again should be fine.
i know a lad that uses a second pc to capture and stream games with OBS and its a 9700k / 2060 and its very much over kill

the only concern for me would be to Quadro P1000, its a lot slower than a 3050, but as your not gaming and its just captureing i feel you should be ok

but if you already have the hardwear give it a go and see
