    CPU or recording PC? Streaming.

    Cool. I would still get a graphics card, and a decent one. I assume you can put together a build, but go for a gtx 960 and a AMD fx 8350, the cores will help.

At first, using cheap generic thermal gray stuff from amazon and a Hyper T2, my OC 4.2GHX fx 6300 hit 67C on prime95 blend. I thought about buying a new cooler, but instead I got some...

    Safe FX-6300 OC?

    Don't know what cpu to get for gaming server

    The AMD 's. 8000 or 9000 's series should be great, as they have 8 cores each.
