1500x for streaming?

[Wolverinesgaming]

So I wanted to know if the 1500x would be a good cpu to play games at 4k. I also want to stream on twitch with it I will be mainly streaming rainbow six seige, pubg, fallout, dead by daylight, ext.. I don't have a huge budget and the 1500x is on sale for 135$ is it worth it? It will be watercooled so overclocking would be happening

Specs.
32gbs ddr4 3200 ram
Gtx 1070ti

For live-streaming, you will need an hex-core CPU if you want to maintain your in-game frame rates without losing too many stream encoding frames. Step up to the 1600 at the very least.

It will play games at 4k but don't think about streaming at 4k. Stream at 720p. Don't bother with water cooling. You're not going to be able to overclock it by that much and the stock cooler is a decent one. The 1500x is fine for your use.

most are looking to 1600x/2600x, something with 6 cores, for streaming....
