Purpose of the system:
Livestream video reports of sports events registrated with multiple camera's. Live footage is mixed with commercials, leaders and overlays in vMix and encoded with Flash Media Live Encoder. We would like to start with 720p (not sure how fast our upload speeds will be), but in the future we might want to switch to 1080p.
My system so far:

As you can see, no dedicated graphics card. I thought it wasn't necessary since FMLE doesn't support hardware acceleration as far as I know. vMix does use the GPU a lot before resorting to the CPU, but i'm hoping the integrated graphics are enough. Also, should I need some extra processing power, I could add a dedicated graphics card whereas replacing/upgrading a CPU isn't so easy.
That's also the reason I maybe went a little overboard with the CPU. As I said, it should be able to livestream 1080p. Will it? Or can I make do with a cheaper version? Budget is kind of an issue. I heard talk about a Xeon, or an i5, but I thought the integrated graphics and hyperthreading would make the i7 the better choice.
Also, any thoughts on the other parts? I've heard that I might need a case with better airflow?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
