I'm looking to replace my current Broadcast Machine (Core 2 Duo, 4GB, Win 7x64) with something much faster that can handle things the current system cannot (BM Intensity Pro Cards). So far I've been looking at mostly at i3 and i5 machines (mainly due to price) and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for ideal specs for a PC, or maybe even an already built machine that can handle the following:
  • 1 or 2 BM Intensity Pro Cards
  • High Quaility Video Streaming (Possibly to multiple providers)
  • Run Wirecast Smoothly
  • Possible use of Live Virtual Sets


My price range is about $500-1k (Cheaper is always better) and I'm open to any suggestions!

--On a side note, I've looked at the BM ATEM, but there's some critical features in WC I need--
