I wish I knew more about building PCs and I'm slowly learning the process. I'd like everyone's individual input on different builds for $800 minus a Windows 7 Purchase.
The things I need my PC for are...NOT PC gaming. Or at least not directly gaming on the PC. I use my PC mostly for broadcasting CONSOLE Gaming into Justin.tv / Ngame.tv.
For CPU...It's a highly CPU intensive process [especially with the more resolution you wish to imbue into your feed] and having a good quad or even a -drool- hexa core would be essential. Something I can OC to get even more bang for your buck. But CPU is my most important spec I need...so I wouldn't want it to be skimped.
For a MOBO...I'd like something that could support future things on it ideally without having to buy a new one. Something that will support growth and better specs later on if necessary. I'm hoping it has it's own video card thing and sound system built in since those two things I will not really need to be amazing.
Video card...I probably won't really need a good one...if the mother board comes with some sort of graphics installment that does meh graphics I'll be ok with it since I really do zero PC gaming. If I do PC gaming...it may be games from like 1999...I'm hoping anything that may be built into a mobo would be good enough.
I'd love at least 1 TB of hard drive space since I create tons of videos for Youtube and like to keep a spare copy of them after it's uploaded.
Sound...if the mobo comes with anything decent to listen to things...I don't mind. I'm not looking to create music or whatever so anything super fine tuned isn't necessary. What I'm mostly looking for is to get a great PC with just 800.
RAM...6-8 would be nice. Your thoughts?
Don't need a monitor since I will be using the one I'm using to type this. Same with mouse and keyboard.
Power Supply...I'm hoping I don't need to buy a new one if the CPU comes with something decent enough to power the PC.
Cooling...I plan to overclock my CPU since I need lots of it and know it will heat up faster...I probably need good cooling. Have at it.
I also must have a USB 3.0 slot to have my capture card [Black Magic Intensity Shuttle] be compatible.

If I can get the opinions and builds of a lot of different people coupled with why you chose that particular item with links to it from a website that won't charge CA sales tax and or any shipping costs with large orders [gots to save that cash!] would be great. Help me learn here since I'm brand new at creating PCs.
