[SOLVED] Suggestions for upgrading Ryzen 5 2600 / Radeon RX 580 System

[sirskittle]

Hi everyone! Some background on my PC, I built my first PC in 2019 with a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, Radeon RX 580 8GB GPU, and an ASUS B450 Motherboard. The computer runs games wonderfully, but I recently started streaming on Twitch and am having bottlenecking problems when streaming more intensive games. I know I it's the GPU being that I stream off of it, I'm worried that my CPU will limit what I can upgrade GPU-wise. Do you guys have any suggestions for upgrades? Thanks in advance!

You might want to add couple more cores to the rig, get a second hand 2700X or even a 3700X, I bet there will be lots of people selling these days to buy their new CPUs.
For the GPU, get a 5600XT if you can afford it.

Got it! Quick question, what's the difference between the 2700x and the 3700x? From what I'm seeing they have the same amount of cores and threads, just slightly different speeds. Is it worth the price jump?
