I am buying a new CPU. And I am torn between 11400 vs 3600.
Right now I don't have the budget for a GPU, I have an old Nvidia GTX 560.
My main problem is right now I can't run anything on web with hardware acceleration.
To my understanding I can't use 11400's integrated graphics while getting the display input from my GTX 560. So I am very confused what road to go.

What do you think makes the most sense, I do mild 1080p gaming and I plan to do some video editing and streaming.
Can I have a smooth lets say Twitch 1080p60 experience with any of these CPU's with GTX560

Current specs:

Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 925 Processor, 3250 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 12,0 GB

Adapter Description NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
 
Solution
Either CPU would be severely held back, in gaming, by that GPU. You basically have GTX 750ti like performance. With a proper GPU upgrade, the 11400 is the better choice, as long as you pair it with a decent B560 board and 3200mhz ram.
