So, I might be really ambitious and just "go for it" soon... I'm going to try to make a life for myself in my home... Long story short: I highly doubt I'll ever be able to work full-time again, and my mental issues mean I'm less inclined than ever to go out often.
So, a content creator PC. I've got plenty of parts from less-used PCs I can take from, just need to know what would be the best option.
Probably going to be either livestreaming or recording 1080p camera and someday 4k from a secondary source. Either using a webcam or DSLR, and a PCIe capture card for the secondary source recording.
So, given that info:
1- Do I need cores? Lots of cores? Frequency? --- I can retask Behemoth to this (64cores @ 2.8ghz... soon? ) , Use a 16-24core dual G34 @ 2.1-2.4ghz, or lastly retask my old gamer (FX-8530 @4.xghz).
2- Similar to above, but for storage of videos, possibly raw, possibly captured in realtime: SSD? Nvme/PCIe? Record to one of those then transfer to a small HDD raid for sale keeping during editing? Or just use the raid for saving and do all editing on something fast.
3- Ram? How much? Don't think any system I have has less than 8gb, most are 16gb+, but since I don't have experience with this stuff perhaps more is required?
4- Lastly, I'll take any or all feedback and advice about this... In many ways this is a big departure from anything I've done in many years, but I really do need to do SOMETHING with my life... So yeah, reply away?
Thanks as always everyone.
