Building a new computer

[Shodokan]

for the card here is in detail post about and how to use it with xsplit I have seen alot of streamers have it working with xsplit but I say it takes abit more then most streaming

http://www.xsplit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14488

I just want zero performance change for playing... if it takes another PC to do it then sure... but I don't really want to use HDMI to get sound out to another machine... which seems it is the only way to do it (i like my DVI)

It also says that I cannot use my USB headset as an input device as it won't pick up my mic or anything like that... so a 2nd PC might be out of the question.

This is what i have an idea to get...



Any cons to the 6 core over the 4 core ivy bridge minus heatsinks/fan not included and the less cores?

You should like that Hitachi HD- I put one in my son's upgrade-it's pretty fast and seems reliable so far

What I dont get is that, You are trying too say recording/streaming uses all the CPU but really there are software out there that utilize it so it uses nothing of your cpu. Dxtory go google it I use right now with 10 WoW's and it runs great no drop in performance

And about the Hitachi hdd they drop quite fast in performance and qulity in under a year, Lets just say they die really fast when you have alot of stuff on them

My son's Hitachi is going well after year or more.I'll have to check his model number again vs/what you have intended to buy.ymmv

You probably need larger ps-700 watt seems kind of small. Are you re-using a cd/dvd drive? Make sure your vid card of choice has a large enough power supply to feed it-most cards have a minimum required depending on other things in your system of course.

Pretty sure you can run any and every single card GPU on a 700W PSU. The GTX 690 only requires a 650W PSU and that's a dual-GPU card, and two 7970's in Crossfire use up less than 650W. The only reason a 700W PSU wouldn't be adequate is if it's a super-generic model that doesn't have enough amperage on the 12v rail(s).

Those are watts measured "at the wall" meaning overall system-wide numbers.

I think that statement is backwards, but if you expect more FPS by having more cores then you'll need a GPU to back that up. As for the SSD, I would choose something else besides an OCZ Agility -- Maybe something like a Crucial M4 or a Samsung 830 or an Intel 510/520. The Samsung 840 is about to come out as well and it's a beast of an SSD, but if you're running close on the budget then you might need to wait for one extra paycheck to afford the 840.

Dxtory costs what? Their website doesn't say.

It also seems that Dxtory doesn't capture from a specific screen region nor a game source.

Yes it does. Try it You have to open the game and dxtory will then link itself to your game
