Hi, I'm thinking of replacing my i5 6600K with the i7 6700K. I'd like to get better performance/quality when streaming as I feel like my stream now is somewhat choppy compared to other streamers out there (who I notice are all on i7 chips). Do you think this would help?
Also, if I do upgrade my chip, what is involved in that? When I swap it out, do I need to re-install Windows or anything? Obviously my current BIOS Overclocking settings will probably be invalid and will need to be reconfigured.
Current specs:
Maximum VIII Hero
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z170 Platform
Corsair H100i GTX water cooler
Gigabyte 970 GTX G1 Gaming x 2 (SLI)
I've never actually upgraded a CPU before, I usually just build new.
Thanks.
