Can my rig handle the Black Magic Intensity Pro?

[TimC]

I currently use a HD PVR to record and stream. I want to upgrade my HDTV to a nice monitor (ASUS VS247H), and in doing so I'm getting rid of component cables and switching to HDMI. Is my rig enough to handle the Black Magic Intensity Pro? If not, what would I need to add to my rig? Or what internal capture card do you suggest? Thanks in advance for the response!

You will probably want 2x identical hard drives in RAID 0 to capture uncompressed HD. I am not familiar how well most editing software runs on AMD chips (since the majority are optimized for Intel). 8GB is rather small. You can not directly capture via HDMI if you are using a PS3 since the signals are HDCP encrypted. The Xbox does not have this limitation. So you might want to keep your component cables around. Jaxel has already put up a nice overview of what you need for capturing and stream so give it a read.
