Would this CPU be good for increasing streaming capability ( I use either xsplit or OBS)

I'm not familiar with either product, so I can't say. My computer with the AMD Phenom II sits next to one with an Intel Socket 1150 i3, and although the Intel is a more recent CPU, I think the AMD may be faster in use (although it could be 16G of ram vs. 8G).

Yes, marginally. While your computers speed will increase overall joekerr1 is right streaming capability is more dependent on network infrastructure
1722213
Depends what you are currently running now to compare an increase. By itself it is a fast CPU. Streaming is more dependent on network infrastructure.

It cannot be upgraded, but its performance is good for everything I use: cloud, raid, network folders, torrent.... I have not tried yet, but friends tell me that video stream is slow. Audio works fine.

Yes! Yes you can. I use it and obs to stream to twitch. It is a fairly easy streaming solution that I recommend!

Yes if you have the right codecs installed. Check out Twitch.tv site for specs.

It will work. You may be able to unlock another core if you are fortunate. I agree with N1ghtmare - if you want to game, get an FX. I use this processor in an HTPC and I unlocked a core. If you happen to not be able to unlock the 2nd core, you don't have much for a CPU.

If your using the USB then yes, but I would recommend a NAS hard drive because it streams faster for video's than USB does. Hope this helps you.

I would say its not absolutly essencial to do so, but it will show an improvement on rendering. If you are running a media center PC and have the $40 I would recommend it. I am assuming your HD3450 has DVI and not HDMI. I would go ahead and upgrade for that reason and the bump in performance. Not knowing exactly what you are using your card for (TV, casual gaming, video encoding) the other bennifit would be better powermagement resulting in less power draw and a slightly cooler PC which being a small form factor will benefit you. Plus the switch to DDR 3 and DirectX 11 is a nice bump from what you currently have. For the price, I would say yes it is worthwhile.

Absolutely. You would want to use an i5 or i7 in it. And at least 8 gig RAM. The on-board video may or may not please you for gaming, so you may have to add a decent quality Video card. This board is an excellent platform for most anything someone wants to use it for. It will depend on what CPU and RAM you put in it.

it doesn't, motherboard barely support HD quality videos. if attempting online gaming, the processor use for this motherboard will not be sufficient enough. you'll experience lag and quality drop. it sounds like you're doing a PC build, I highly suggest getting nothing below a Pentium i3 processor

Stuff like flash (youtube) is very processor (cpu) dependent; I recently put this in an old machine which had an old intel core 2 duo e4700 and it was fine. So compare that with your own setup.It did seem like it was stuttering if anything else was running. It might be worth it to put another 10 dollars into the video card, but if all your going to be doing is running youtube video it's fine. (Although seriously consider bumping up slightly.)

Depends on what kind of work, I guess. I haven't tried this setup. Cpu is good enough, and memory could be added if needed - also to assist with video ram, but my guess is that the gpu would fall short if this is how you plan to use the unit. Having said that, I find streaming to one window while working in another works fine on a single monitor setup. My "work" being simple tasks with browsing, email and office applications.

I will suggest you use MK 908, it has quad core. Much easier to handle the video out put. Thanks, have a great weekend!

I highly doubt you'll be using two processors to their limit, yes a 850-watt power supply will suffice. In fact, I believe you'll be perfectly fine with it even if you're running the system to its highest capabilities.

I'm sorry I can't help you here because I don't do gaming. It seems to stream videos just fine and is faster than my old one. Probably not much help, huh?

I've had absolutely no problems with this motherboard. I use it for streaming in 1080p for hours a day. Just make sure you install the drivers from the maker's website before use!For more video compression and audio editing, this thing is perfectly fine. Not exactly a powerhouse, but it doesn't stutter.

I'm not sure it would work great. This processor is barely capable of running any games, let alone stream video at the same time.

Streaming from where? That has more to do with bandwidth. However, if you mean the screen resolution, I have no complaints.
