is core i5 2500 still good for streaming games like dota2?

current setup:
core i3 6100
msi b150m
msi r9 380
seasonice m12ii 620w
1tb wd blue

someone selling it on a lower price

No. Its a little bit better then the i3 6100. But sadly it's not gonna work with your setup as it requires a lga 1155 motherboard and different ram. In fact if you do this its gonna be expensive and a downgrade. So definitely no.

An i5 or i7 6XXX series processor, would perform much better then your i3 there and will work on your setup.. Those are your only options as for the price.

what Im pointing is the core i5 2500 is good for streaming cause it is a quad core cpu compared to a dual core cpu which is better on multitasking like streaming but my question is. is it still reliable for an old cpu like this?
