Hello there! Long time lurker, first time poster. Anyways, I currently stream to twitch as well locally record video's for youtube using my PC which is I5-4690k (not OC'd.. yet) with a GTX 770OC. I am quite happy with my streams, as with not being partnered, I think 1080 is overkill.
Youtube is a whole new story though. I am recording some indie games (no issue) but also Skyrim (modded) and a newer MMO which is pretty CPU heavy. Unfortunately I have found with my PC I need to record at 720/60 as 1080 is just too out of reach. I would absolutely love to record at 1080/60. I am quite happy with my PC for gaming by itself, but would love to put together a budget build to use as a 2nd PC solely for OBS/local recordings. I already have a capture card on the way because I was looking to record some PS3, so that's already covered.
I picked up some old PC's from work, but unfortunately they all have Core2Duo's (fastest was 3.0GHz) which also means terrible mobo's and DDR2 ram. Although, they were put together by a shop and not pre-built, so the case/PSU/GPU is usable. For a dedicated local recording machine (NO gaming whatsoever) what would be the cheapest CPU I could get away with to record 1080/60? I'm not looking for the best recording out there, I record at veryfast and am fine with it, so a CPU that could do 1080/60 at veryfast (or the one notch slower) would be fine.
I was thinking AMD would be better for a budget build, but as I normally run intel I haven't got a clue what I would need.
