Streaming + Gaming PC

[Luk1ws]

Hello everyone, I've done lots of research on which cpu should I buy for streaming, I've been looking at the i7-8700k and Ryzen series, but I cannot decide what to go for, one offers more perfomance in games, other one offers more cores, but less fps in games. I stream games like csgo,league of legends, pubg. other than those games might play some AAA games. I would love to hear from you and your opinions.

8700k give you a better gaming experience, 2700x gives your viewer a better viewing experience.

Both should run lastest triple a title at 2k 60 fps with a decent graphics card. It’s up to you. If you need to constantly show off your skills 8700k will be a better choice, if you likes to just entertain the crowd please the viewers, 2700x

The best advice one could give would be to do proper research by reading and viewing tests. At that point, it becomes about what suits your needs and/or wants and what your budget dictates. Either an 8700k or a 2700 or 2700X would make for a powerful gaming and streaming rig. Each side has advantages over the other and the gap between really isn't that wide anymore.

Good luck.
