Solution
For streaming, the more cores the better. AMD performs the same as Intel in live streaming, and since you already have an AMD build, get the 8350 (or 8320 if you're on a budget). If you have more money to spend, you could sell your motherboard and CPU and switch to Intel. Intel is better for pretty much everything that's not live streaming.

i just want better streaming performance. can u recommend a intel cpu/mb combo better than a 8350/asrock extreme4.
 


Are you interested in OC? You don't need it, but it'll squeeze some extra performance out of your system. It costs a bit more though.

 


can you show me both?
 


Here's one you can OC with:

The CPU cooler isn't needed on the non-OC upgrade, but I would recommend it to keep it cooler. The stock cooler is pretty crap.
