Will i be able to play games and render videos at 1080p@60fps

[FiggyHunter]

If i'm willing to give up some fps in games will be able to render videos at 1080@60fps and play games at the same time?
CPU:Ryzen 5 1600 @3.8 ghz
GPU:Asus Expedition Gtx 1060 6gb
RAM: 8gb
MOBO: Asus prime b350-plus
PSU: xfx ts series 550w 80+ gold

You can assign 2 cores and 4 threads to the rendering software but there might be 2 issues.
1. You only have 8GB of ram of unknown speed and probably single stick ( provide info if possible, download cpu-z and post spd tab)
2. One HDD? Or two? Cause if you have one hdd and as the rendering software does its job it will probably make your games stutter.

The answer is yes! Read this: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/game-streaming-encoding-coffee-lake-ryzen,5326.html

It's a great CPU for doing exactly what you described.

I'd agree with Robert Ban though, you should really have 16gb of ram. Your setup is very like mine. My system rocks gaming/streaming.

I have this ram: CRUCIAL 8GB Ballistix Sport DDR4 2400MHz CL16 BLS8G4D240FSB i plan getting another one in the future.
I have one hdd of 1tb 7200 rpm 64 mb of cache. But also planning to get one more in the future. Cheers.

Another question will this power supply give me a little headroom for this configuration (is it futureproof).
I mean : xfx ts series 550w 80+ gold

You need 3000MHz ram to really get perfomance out of the CPU as it is ram speed hungry.
Well you could try to render and play but depends which games, as you play games at 1080p and high resolution it means that 6GB's of ram is allready taken soo leaves no headroom.

But if i get 16 gigs and oc the memory to 2666?

Games i want to play are mostly overwatch, rainbow six siege,gta v on medium when rendering...
