EPTFrom all the research I've done, practically every 1080p streamer uses an i7, but I'm not willing to spend $300+new mobo. Do you guys think http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103996 would work, or is there anyone here who streams 1080p with an AMD CPU who can give me some tips?

If you want to spend a little more on the high end 4 module Bulldozer, you will, at worst, get lower performance than your Phenom II and at best, barely match the stock i7 2600. | ||

*If* you have a decent spare computer it's "only" ~180$ for something like these http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/ | ||

Where are you finding 8GB of RAM for $20? Maybe you'll find that once or twice a year, tops. On sale, like black friday, or some promo. | ||

Phenom II x6 at 4ghz is pretty good, apart from that you can upgrade to 2600k or 2700k, bulldozer won't do anything. If you think even that won't be enough you're free to go for 3930K but that costs alot. | ||

I believe a 2500k would definitely help streaming when OC'd. | ||

Sometimes I get CPU bottlenecked when trying to stream at 1080p through XSplit, so I was thinking about upgrading.

There is no possible way you're getting a CPU bottleneck. I use a 3.5GHz Phenom II X6 to stream 1080p and I have zero issues at all. Last I checked I don't even break 70% CPU with Battlefield 3 going. Your bottleneck/issue is somewhere else. | ||

I have a AMD phenom x4 clocked to 4.20 GHz and a upload speed of 5mb/s and I am able to stream 1080p StarCraft II and League of Legends. X-Split settings are bitrates at 2900kb/s fps is at 15 resolution obviously 1920x1080 I really think the reason is people try to stream at too high of a FPS on AMD CPU's and they just can't pull it off for a 1080p stream.. Here's a sample of my stream: alokinTV | ||
