Hey Guys is amd a good brand for cpu's for gaming, i was looking between fx-8350 fx-9590 or i6 4690k

They have their places, but for purely gaming intel is much better.

What is your budget for the CPU? The i5 listed will perform better than both of the FX processors.

FX-8320 with an AIO liquid cooler is your best bet. You can then easily overclock it to 4.5+ GHz.

The 8320 and i5 arent even on the same tier of performance, no amount of (possible) overclocking will change that.

up to $350 AUD

I would recommend the 4690k for sure then (Unless you need a motherboard in that budget). The 4790k would be a bit over budget.

This is an AMD build that I conjured up for you : http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ck_H/saved/3KWmP6

This is and Intel build that I conjured up for you : http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ck_H/saved/FGtNnQ

You can edit these builds to your liking.

Keep in mind that Intel will out perform AMD in everything except multi core processing. If you are livestreaming with the i5-4690k, you'll lose much more frames than you would with the FX-8350. Also, AMD isn't terrible, you'll still enjoy your games with the FX-8350 at a comfortable frame rate, but the Intel processors will always be about 5-10 frames ahead, most of the time.
