New Desktop PC for Church

[RossGarner399]

Hi everyone, Any advice gratefully received on this spec. please.

We are looking for an all rounder for projecting words and pictures in church services. We may start live streaming so I am hoping to use the NVENC facility of the NVidia GPU. We play song/hymns through the PC so a good soundcard is important.

Anyone know why there are no video card options between 1030 and the 3050 ?

Hi, I'm afraid I'm not able to help you as I'm not knowledgeable enough about specs, but if you could click the below link and provide the additional info, the forum elves who do know what they're doing will be able to advise you more easily. The main things missing are your top budget and the monitor you're planning to use.

In terms of the lack of video card options between the 1030 and 3050, that's due to PCS only stocking video cards that are still in production as they tend to meet the demands of customers better than older hardware. There is an option to buy without a GPU if you were able to track one down elsewhere if you were looking for an older card for a specific reason.

It may be worth considering an Intel CPU (with integrated graphics) if you are considering live streaming. Intel's QSV is also a very capable hardware encoding solution and I have had some pretty decent success with it.

It gives you an additional option on that front should you need it.
