Ok I'll get a new GPU, I hope that works.

But is there a way to use my Intel Graphics for now?

 

[Harold]

Not easily.

Also, with a pentium D, your performance is going to be VERY bad.

I'm looking into getting a Radion R7 250. Is that within the requirements? I'm not recording directly onto the pc, I'm using this as a streaming/server pc. So the cpu will not be to effected.

 

[Harold]

You're going to still need a decent cpu.

Is tere a recommened system requirements? I couldn't find a list anywhere?

 

[Harold]

A recent-generation i5 or i7 would basically be required at this point. i5 4690k or up on the passmark cpubenchmark results

I would really like to be able to get one but my budget and my mobo doesn't allow it. My mobo has an LGA 775 Socket so, I can't upgrade past an Xeon

 

[Harold]

You can't upgrade past a core2 generation xeon specifically.

You're basically stuck
