Question Which CPU for my dedicated streaming PC

[Lewis_35]

Hey guys, Ive been wanting to start streaming for a while now and decided to build a 2nd pc to stream from. The only problem is I don't know which CPU to get. Its definitely going to be Ryzen but I also don't want to spend a mad amount of money. which mid range ryzen CPU would be enough for JUST streaming, no gaming?

My 2600 can handle streaming and gaming so, for dedicated streaming, the 2600 would be a good option pretty good price especially for the performance and cores/threads it has.

I'd personally aim for a Ryzen 3600 just to have more options open for re-purposing the computer later or just being a stronger backup in case your main PC goes down for whatever reason.
