my budget is 700-800 dollar
games like cs go,pubg,gta v to be at 60 to 70 fps during streaming

Ryzen 5 is undoubtedly the king in this scenario. Double the threads vs. the i5. As Vapour already asked, what components do you already own? Do you need an OS etc.?

For 1080p? gta V and pubg may be lower, CSGO is not an issue.
800 bucks for the whole rig?

thanks for the reply i have question that during live streaming the core clock is considered or no. of cores

 

[vapour]

both, more cores -> more power to convert streaming signals Many games can only fully utilize 1-4 cores and the rest is useful for streaming. More GHz will help too since it can do more computation for each core/threads.

The 8700K is undoubtedly the king of the Intel desktop processors at the moment. It boasts a nice 3.7 Ghz base frequency, with turbo that can go up another 1 gigahertz (4.7 GHz). It also can reach a maximum clocking frequency of 5GHz. I have it right now, and despite me only having a GTX 1060, almost all of my games run like butter. If you are looking for a great processor that can handle anything, get the 8700K. It's really worth it. The price is also $350.

The 8700k has no place in the OP's build considering his budget.
