Been doing a lot of research and found that the xeon E5 processor is an absolute boss for streaming but the mother boards and expensive AF. So I'm gonna just stick with the basic builds.


Intel Core i5 6500 3.20 GHz Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache BX80662I56500

This is the one I'm looking at for a ATX Mini/Micro build that is gonna be in a girthy but tiny case.

This is the full build I was looking to run.
(RAM is actually DDR3-1600 Corsair Vengence 2x8GB) [Case is actually DIYPC-F2-P]

I plan on streaming (at the beginning) 720P@30Fps 2000 Kbps until I get lucky enough to be a partner then I'll bump up to 720P@60Fps 3500+ Kbps.


Thoughts?

more cores the better, if you want leave some headroom for later i would go with a 6700k upwards. if money is tight the 6500 should be fine for 720p 30fps cpu encoding, just if you want to do 1080p encoding with a higher bitrate it will struggle hence the 6700 upwards view.

Well I'm only trying to start off; and on twitch the max upload allowed currently (to most not in a new beta program for higher upload speed) is only 3500 Kbits, which allows for a max of 720p@60FPS or 1080p@48FPS. Personally I'll never go past 3500 Kbits for a long time. I just want a community of gamers that like to tune in. If my channel were to take off in a huge way then, if I were to make any amount of money from the stream, I'd upgrade my dedicated system.
