Hey,
New to the forum but not to OverClockers. I have been buying from you guys since I was at Uni, which thinking about it was a depressingly long time ago.
Also, I hope this doesn’t come across as ‘I’m too lazy to research it myself, so I’ll just ask someone else’. I have been looking for several days now, and if anything have confused myself more.
Here goes,
We have a small amateur radio station and are looking for a PC that will be used solely to, live stream a video feed, save a copy of the feed itself and is capable of rendering out hour long segments of the saved videos using Sony Vegas (This wouldn’t be done at the same time as streaming.) The stream is a 1080p source that would be down scaled to 720p and have a watermark added. Also being about to have 2 monitors would be a huge positive.
From reading the system requirements of the hardware and software we will be using, it ‘seemed’ an Intel I5 or AMD equivalent would be a good starting point, but then I read somewhere that an Intel I7 would be a better choice, due to the advantage of ‘Hyper-Treading’. Also read that the graphics card isn’t that important as the CPU is doing most of the work for streaming video.
Would anyone be so kind as to suggest a pre-built system from OverClockers, or as I’ve seen on other threads here, a list of the components that would manage this? Also do OverClockers offer a service to build them?
As I mentioned, this is its only task it will be doing and I’d prefer not to spend far more than is necessary.
I hope this type of post is allowed, and would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you
Andy
