Hello

I want to build Streaming PC. I need to stream 10 different things same time. default soft will be Wirecast ( maybe OBS sometimes). So here is my question can i7 5960x and 32 GB of Ram handle 10 video streaming at the same time on 1080p/720p 30fps?

here is specs for Wirecast soft

Windows Minimum System Requirements

Operating Systems*:
Windows 7 32-bit & 64-bit
Windows 8 64-bit
Wirecast Cam app requires iOS 8
Windows computer with Intel ‘Sandy Bridge’ chips or higher
i3 recommended for 540p or lower streaming
i5 or higher recommended for 720p streaming
i7 recommended for 1080p streaming
2GB RAM minimum
4GB RAM and 64-bit OS recommended for 720p or higher streaming
200MB free hard drive space for installation
Hard Drive space for recording to disk
512 MB PCI-Express graphics card with 3D acceleration
GeForce or Radeon class card recommended
NVIDIA cards may cause some visual distortion if YUV color space rendering is enabled in Preferences.
Sufficient upload speed for streaming
Because of the many variables involved in live streaming, a safe rule of thumb is twice the bandwidth of the total bit rate of the stream
 
Solution
if it only for streaming and not gaming... a gtx 760/960 or R7 265/R9 260X will do the job easily
for 1080P streaming ..I7 cpu and 32gb of ram is plenty enough
yeah I have good internet connection. its all about hardware so can this setup handle it? or should I pick Xeon? and 1 more thing which GPU should I use for this system? 512 MB PCI-Express graphics card with 3D acceleration GeForce or Radeon class card recommended so should I put GTX 970/980?
