Is a Phenom II good for gaming, streaming, Video editing? And can I live stream with 4 Gigs of ram?

Phenom II X4 or X6 will, X2 won't stream very well.

Can this game and stream well?:[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215126[/url]
Not at all.
Why?
Hardware isn't up to it, you won't get a laptop that will play games and stream games well for $400.
[QUOTE=David Tennant;31590020]Not at all.[/QUOTE]
I used a Gateway T-6330u Laptop for streaming without issue.
It is a Pentium dual core @ 2 GHz with 3Gb RAM and Intel Integrated graphics.
The laptop he linked is a Phenom II @ 3 GHz with 4GB RAM and a Radeon Mobility HD 4250.
You do the math.
Are we talking about streaming games as in, using something like Xsplit and broadcasting on twitchtv or streaming youtube stuff?
That's what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about streaming games and or movies from the computer using something like xsplit or livestream.
And you managed to do that at a good bitrate/resolution on a Pentium D?
I struggle to stream penumbra at 1024x768 on my core 2 duo.

Most of the time, but I mostly streamed movies. I was able to stream some older games. Point being that if I can do it, he'll be able to.
Different ball game when it comes to streaming games.
I want to build a computer with a AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, a Radeon HD 6950 2gb video card, ASUS Sabertooth 990FX mobo, and the Noctua NH-D14 cooler. My friend built a very similar system, and he recommended I go for a 1000W psu, but I think a 750W psu ($100 cheaper) should be enough. I checked with newegg's power supply tool, but I just want to be sure. Also I know I would probably have to upgrade the psu if I wanted to add a second video card, but I probably will never get around to doing that. I also might overclock, but I won't push any limits anytime soon.
Is 750W enough for my build?

750W should easily be enough, 1000W is definitely overkill. It also depends on the brand of PSU though.
750w is definitely more than enough, 750w will also support dual 6950's down the line.
Although why would you go for an X6 1100T over a 2500k sandy? They're almost the exact same price, you may aswell get the 2500k for the performance, especially in games.
A 2gb card is also money wasted unless you play at a high resolution otherwise get the 1gb 6950.

Is there any way to see the history of what websites were viewed from my connection? Like, in the router or through the ISP or something?

Oddly enough I'm not looking to game (on the side maybe)
I'm mainly going to be doing a lot of 3D CAD and etc, so more cores and more video memory will help me out a lot, and comparable professional graphics cards cost way too much
I'd still get a 2500k, comparable performance in CAD according to benchmarks, you can always go for the 2600k if you conjure up another $80, that'll smoke the 1100T.

this is dumb and you are dumb for saying it.
Many newer games can pretty easily go over 1gb, IIRC Metro 2033 by itself can use up nearly or more than 2gb of vram at 1920x1080.

If you could post a link to that it'd be wonderful. I hardly see any benchmarks for anything CAD related, let alone the programs I'll be using. As for graphics cards marketed to gamers, those benches don't even exist
[QUOTE=Nsybouts;31561808]So I have literally tried everything to prevent these Crashes I have been having, I started having random crashes where the computer will freeze and audio will loop, Now I have had these crashes sense mid 2010 and at that time I had my Core 2 Setup but now with a completely new system minus power supply, Fans, and my optical drive. So I thought it would be a good idea to remove each of the older parts one by one to see if I could find the problem but no dice. Still had crashes with a different PSU and Disk drive, I never switched out the fans because I mean really could it be the fans?
Here is a picture of the Error (from Event Viewer) Same error over [b]163 times[/b]
[thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/12315.png[/thumb]
Sometimes it will Blue screen and sometimes it will just freeze and have an audio loop
Now these crashes happen at any time when either browsing the Internet, listening to music, or playing games
I have done everything I can possibly do for I all I know.

Shit I forgot to mention I even Updated my BIOS[/QUOTE]
Alright so now I have done absolutely everything I can do I even got rid of the extra audio drivers. but for some reason the Realtek audio drivers refuse to be "cleansed"? anyway to get rid of them?
Tomorrow I am going to try switching out my surge protector and power cable (Yes I know this is ridiculous)
Would [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231441]this ram[/url] work in [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131701]this motherboard[/url] ?
Yes.
So I will receive my new components in a few days, and I was wondering in what order should I build up the new pc?
[QUOTE=martijnp3000;31600895]So I will receive my new components in a few days, and I was wondering in what order should I build up the new pc?[/QUOTE]
I put the RAM, CPU and heatsink in the motherboard, then I place it in the case. Put GPU, HDD(s) and optical drives in, and connect everything to the power supply and motherboard. Just do it in the way you feel comfortable with.
Will intels new Socket 2011 have that new 3D transistor that made it 33% better performance and 50% energy cheaper?
Is that agree rating a yes?
Thanks, I'll be getting it.
I'm going to OC my i5-2500k up to 4ghz on the stock cooler (once I get a better cooler I will OC it futher) and was wondering if I need to touch the voltage or if the MB will adjust accordingly. I have a MSI P67A-GD55 MB. I know too much voltage will fry it but that's about it...

For some reason I had four extra Nvidia Sound Drivers

So my friend who lives in Alaska has been having some troubles with his 5870, around twice a day his video signal will cut out on both monitors requiring a restart.
He thinks it could be because of moisture building up in his computer (Sometimes he leaves the window open) Could this be the case?

That's nothing. I have two Windows folders.
