Building a new computer

[Shodokan]

The Avermedia Live Gamer HD captures 1080P HD gameplay with extremely low CPU consumption and comes with a multitude of features

Its dam awsum thing well worth the money

I'm just going to be streaming with like x-split. How would having a capture card help?

Also the card you listed doesn't work with x-split as far as lessening the burden on your CPU due to encoding. (hardware encoder not yet supported)

Unless you are telling me to use a secondary PC which honestly I don't know if thats a feasible option for me right now... and if it was I'm not sure how i'd go about using my stream to capture specific areas of the screen on another computer (unless x-split would work the exact same way and i could just use it like normal as if the capture device area would be my actual desktop)

If i left my current PC as is and basically got a second one completely (not sharing any parts) I'm not sure how i'd maintain my room temp with two pcs going or the cost of electricity.
