Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

I don't know anything about desktops, but I need one with a very fast processor. The other specs are not as necessary.

Any recommendations?

Any normal price. Nothing too expensive. (I don't know how much these run. Say around $500?)

Basically, I need something to live stream several cameras feeds.

$500 is a basic desktop, you cannot get something special for the price. But may I know why you decided processor is the most important thing for what you need it?

Otherwise it is very slow. I was told the fast processor will help solve that issue.

I wonder if the "tellers" really know that for a fact that the processor is what make the most difference. Becuase when a computer works everything makes a difference, and a fast hard drive can be as important than a fast processor.

That's why I'm asking the professionals here.

What are the specs of the current computer?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Either way, it's been a few days now and there are other deals.

Here's one for $499 that I believe will solve your speed issues: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-desktop-amd-a10-series-12gb-memory-2tb-hard-drive-black/4362103.p?skuId=4362103
