Can i use an i3 6100 for obs recording and gaming at 1080p with 6mbps bitrate for games like sims 4, spore, simcity, cities skylines , overwatch and batlefield 4 and keep them in high at 70 fps? My gpu will be an rx 480 4gb. I will upgrade to an i7 6700k with 4 cores and 8 threads and multitasking will not be a problem any more. I3 only has 2 cores and 4 threads(threads make me belive in anything). Thanks
 

So, that will not stress the cpu but the gpu that is a great gpu. Is it kind of shadowplay? When i get the i7 should i choose cpu or gpu?
 


Budget is 660$ and that includes
termaltake 650w psu - 55$ - for future upgrades like i7 and ssds
cool chassis - 50$
rx 480 - 210$ - i dont want to switch gpu - i want to keep it for at least 4 or 5 years
hitachi 2tb hdd - 50$
z170 board to future oc my i7 - 75$
8 gb crucial ddr4 ram - 44$
80 DOLLARS FOR SHIPPING TO PORTUGAL
i can only buy an i3 with the rest of the money
 


I don't understand. I thought you said you were going to upgrade to an i7?
 
@Techy: I believe he only has the budget to afford an i3 and the parts listed currently, and plans to get an i7 at a later date.

Anyway:

What Z170 board are you looking at for $75?

I wouldn't really trust a board that cheap if I were you - particularly not if you plan to overclock once you get your i7.
 

Yes but i will start with an i3 6100
