Additional Comments: so i come here seeking help from the "pros" for a little build i'm helping a friend with. i've been out of the "building" game for a couple years now so i am not up-to-date with the current products, etc. 2 years ago though this forum help me put together a beast rig and i am forever grateful so i come back now hoping for another success. my friend is a pro gamer on the MLG circuit for Call of Duty on console. he doesn't need a computer for gaming, etc. what he needs it for primarily is to stream his live gameplay to the web via twitch.tv and some minor video editing. his internet is more than capable as it has about 5-7MB upload. so now he just needs a desktop that will be powerful enough to stream live using this: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/models/ . It is the Black Magic Intensity Pro. He may do some light video editing of his gameplay using Sony Vegas or the like. i need input on what would be a good build for the basics: mobo, proc, vid card, RAM, Harddrive. he also has this which he can use if need-be: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181011
any help would be greatly appreciated. not sure where to begin with todays products.
