I'll keep that in mind, I'm leaning more towards the 6-core since I'm convinced it'll help with simultaneously gaming/streaming since that's my main goal here. It also meets the HTC Vive minimum requirements as far as I can tell. Thanks for all the support/suggestions! Now I just gotta wait for my taxes to come in.
