Xeon 1230v2 or i5-3570k for streaming?

Hello!

Would you recommend an Intel Xeon 1230v2 or an i5-3570k for gaming and streaming with OBS? I've got a Z77 motherboard and I can OC the i5 to +4,5 GHz. Just not sure is the HT still better for streaming?

My GPU is R9 280. Suggestions?

Yours,
Xoxo

The 3570k has treated me well and should be better in games. The Xeon might help for streaming but I would go 3570k

I would definitely go for e3-1230v2. I have an e3-1230v2 and an e3-1230v3, love them both.
