Fx 8320 or i5 6600k or e3 1231v3 or i7

[Mots17]

I'm on 700-1000 budget to buy a pc that I can game/stream. Is it worth it to spend extra bucks on intel? I mainly stream league of legends, cs go and payday. Also it should be able to record 1080p 60fps. I'll be getting a 144hz monitor. Recommend me builds, and is fx 8320 that bad compared to i7 6700k? Or i5 6600k?

For $1000 it is worth it to go with Intel. Although the i5 and FX chips have similar multithreaded performance the FX chips have much weaker single threaded performance compared to the i5, making the i5 better for gaming in the near future.

Yes the FX8320 is that bad, especially with a 144hz monitor. This would be way better for about the same price as a FX8320 build.

If you want i7 performance, just swap the i5 for the Xeon

Thanks guys . i5 cab stream 720p 60fps and record 1080p60fps. Is it capable of doing both at the same time? Or only on at a time. Maybe should go skylake?

e3 1231v3is the best choice for this budget, the performance is there, a very basic motherboard is all you need for two ram slots and a pcie 3 slot along with usb3 and sata 3, they can all be had on a b85 motherboard for under 60 dollars for now while they last.

the 8320 to reach anywhere near the performance of a e3 1231v3 will need a 150+ motherboard. Getting the 6600 is an option but not buying a decent 120-130 dollar motherboard to overclock would be a waste of a k series chip getting a locked version really doesn't save you a lot of money yet as the b150 or h170 boards are all around 100 dollars.
and maybe 20 on the chip.

I'm tired and i hope this makes sense, it doesn't feel like much but rambling.

If you do not OC, do not need the iGPU, E3-1231V3 is the best bang for bucks.
E3-1231V3 is for normal users simply a cheaper i7 4790 without the iGPU.
Even Skylake can not beat the price/performance value of an E3-1231V3.

You can use either B85 or H97 for the E3-1231V3 if you do not plan to SLI, which is quite cheap.
If you want to SLI, you must still pick Z97.
