Hi, all,
I am thinking about keeping my WebTV broadcasting 24/7 or near it, using OBS. For the most time, it would be broadcasting documentaries about my city and region, but in certain hours of the day, the news and news bulletins. I own some machines here, but they are prepared for other functions, my audio home studio, and one another for video production. So, I was thinking about mounting a new machine, affordable, very affordable, but which could be used for OBS broadcast and capture cards. As capture cards, I use one Avermedia FullHD PCI express card, one Blackmagic 4k PCI Express card, and one Blackmagic USB 3.0 external card. 2 webcams C920 also. This new PC could run Win 7 Pro or Ultimate and OBS things only.

I saw here in my Country, some affordable kits ( entry level CPUs ) and what do you think about this one:

Intel i7 4790 max turbo 4.0Ghz
Asus H81M-K motherboard
16GB ram
Power supply : Corsair 750 watts
Video card: GTX 1060 3GB
SSD for system and Hard Disk for video big files.

Will this machine endure a 24/7 OBS broadcast easily and with no glitch or do I need something more powerful or perhaps doesn´t even need this GTX 1060 ?

Thanks !

Oh fellows, not even an answer to my question ? Would this machine run well or not OBS with 3 capture cards ( No game ), just encoding camera videos to 720p, video files and sound... I fear it may be bellow reccomendations for this task.

Thanks any help.

Apparently, nobody runs a setup as similar as what you were planning, so nobody can tell. This is a very special mix that is absolutely specific to your machine. In this case, trial and error is the only way to find out.

It might work as you intend, but if anybody thinks it should work and says this, but the machine actually turns out as not being powerful enough, he gave bad advice. So it's better to remain silent than to guess.

Your setup is good for 720p25.
On i7 3770K with 1050Ti i run 3 camera 1080p25 (blackmagic shuttle, 2x avermedia ultra).

Thank you so much. The question was made because I intended to purchase the setup, it´s old and cheap, so I needed to know if it would work before buying. So, an old i7 3770k with a 1050Ti would run 3 cameras ( blackmagic shuttle ( The same I have ), and 2 Avermedia ultra ( I have an Avermedia PCIe with HDMI. That´s great news, because for a small price I could join some spare pieces I already have, a PSU, hard drive and purchase only what´s missing, to make a new "small" computer just for streaming. Thanks a lot !
