Title pretty much explains for itself. Would pair with 12-16gb ram. Games to be streamed would be easy to run like Minecraft.
Oh sorry for the confusion.I'm not sure what's happening here. Are you planing on building a second streaming PC?
So you’re saying it won’t work.While the x5680 has a lot of cores, it doesn't have very good single thread performance by modern standards, and even an older i5-680 is faster in a single thread and a 3770k is much quicker, and it's old too:

Yeah, that's the problem essentially--you need modern hardware to do what you want.So you’re saying it won’t work.
That’s pretty much what I thought.
Sorry, but do you have any recommendations for a good budget streaming CPU?
I was looking at 4770 prebuilts, but they’re expensive.
Dang. Even an i7-4770 won’t work?Yeah, that's the problem essentially--you need modern hardware to do what you want.
Not saying that wouldn't work, but streaming is a modern task and needs modern hardware.Dang. Even an i7-4770 won’t work?
What’s the minimum modern spec you’d say could stream?
Alright. I know the minimum is a 3rd gen i5 or something.Not saying that wouldn't work, but streaming is a modern task and needs modern hardware.
He said he can go up to $500 now.Do you know what the budget is?
He said he can go up to $500 now.
Gonna build him something with a Ryzen 6 core and maybe a few used parts.
Basically got it figured out.
I know about the 1600 AF... it's in my build. Also it's on PCPP you know. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8HqBD3/amd-ryzen-5-1600-12nm-32-ghz-6-core-processor-yd1600bbafboxWell, for what it's worth, here's what I would build:

That leaves enough money for the CPU, which I would recommend the Ryzen 5 1600 AF. Goes for about 90$ on Amazon.
What do you mean where I stand?Also, a little side note. Give streaming a try in private mode with your current rig and you'll have a pretty good idea of where you stand.

YeahSorry, I confused this with another thread. You don't actually have that XEON processor on-hand. My bad.
