I am needing to get a new computer. I do a lot of video uploading via live stream to multiple users over the internet. Can't stress how much I need to be able to stream HD live without any hiccups in the system. Don't need a lot of memory, 4GB is ok, 6GB nicer. More not necessary.
I am leaning towards a 2.6Ghz, but Completely lost on the Processors. AMD, I3, I5, I7, Celeron.
Been trying to do as much research as possible, but still getting lost. :D

I'm sure for streaming only, even an i3 would suffice. If beside streaming you also do video editing and stuff go for an i7 + a powerful nvidia GPU to ensure the best performance.
