Noted! Thanks

Awesome thanks!

Sounds good thank you!

Hahaha okay

Yes I'm more than willing to switch to AMD if it's better!

why do you say this?

gtx 1070

I've already got a great pc. I'm currently using an i7 6700k CPU and an Asus Z170-A motherboard. I need more though since its been a few years and I'm ready to upgrade to something (more) overkill. My upload speed is great and I would love to stream at 1080p for playthoughs and apex legends, which means better CPU. I'm not sure what motherboard to get and I'm currently thinking about getting an i9 9900k CPU. Any advice for motherboard? Also, I'm willing to spend $1000 on the CPU but no more than that. Thanks for any tips in advance :)

Sorry I'm dumb lol. I googled x470 and found a couple, do you have a specific x470 in mind or just any one of them?

Will that be compatible with my other components and help get rid of pixelation?

Aside from extreme pixelation and high CPU usage on my stream, It's been great. And thank you for responding. What would you recommend in terms of a motherboard to go with an AMD Ryzen 7 that will be also be compatible with my other compenents?

I am new to these forums so please don't be mad if i'm asking for help in the wrong place but my current PC is just not cutting it. I use my comp for streaming and gaming but when streaming games like fortnite or wow, I get a lot of pixelation and I use the most optimal settings in OBS that I can and game settings and everything you can think of, but I think I just need a better pc. Or at the least new / better components like a CPU and RAM and maybe a new video card, but if I'm being honest, I really don't know lol. Lucky enough, I'm in a position when I can spend about $2k but really no more than that unless I absolutely need too. My CPU when idle is at about 20% while using chrome. When streaming, I get around 90-100% I really only use what's necessary which isn't much so I don't know why this happens. I'm certain this is what causes extreme pixelation. Internet: 36 ping 32.50 download 6.05 upload (This is as good as I can get with spectrum / TW) This is what I currently have in my comp, I think most of it's decent but if you can recommend a better build / different parts, please let me know.

I've noticed that you can't read anything on the screen. It's much worse than a lot of the more popular streamers and some of them don't have that great of equipment

To start, my internet is good. I've been streaming for a year with no problems. Recently I decided to stream WoW and the stream looked extremely pixelated. I've been changing OBS settings around for a few days and can't seem to find a fix. I was thinking about getting a new CPU, the one I have is an i7 6700k. My graphics card is a GTX 1070. Not sure what to do and if I get a new CPU, what would you recommend?

Is the Corsair h115i compatible with lga 1151 socket?
