i5 6500 vs fx 6300 for streaming

[Krechan1]

Okay I know that the i5 has better performance for gaming but I want to start streaming World of Tanks so would the fx with its 6 cores be better for this or will the i5 suffice?

 

I have a good internet connection so that won't be an issue.

If you use OBS you can use the iGPU on the i5 to render the stream. So the i5 all the way. Also, you can use your GPU to render it too with only a small performance reduction, depending on your GPU.

The i5 is better than the FX6300 basically in every way.

 

Use the i5!

I would recommend spending the extra right now for an i7 or Xeon Skylake because there is no way to make up for the difference, should you choose to upgrade from that i5.

World of Tanks is annoyingly, a single core application, so go for the i5 over that 6300!  (you would anyways.)

Is that even a question? The i5 blows 6300 out of the fucking spot.

Now on a more serious note, get the Xeon E3-1231v3.
BTW. World of Tanks is a single-threaded game, it will run MUCH better on an Intel CPU

the i5 will perform far better even though it has less threads

WoT on an fx6300 will run at about an average of 40fps(Atleast for me) with a gtx 970.

i56600k ran it at about 120 average with the same gpu.

My 4690k runs it at about 70 to 80 with a gtx960,all on max settings.

So atleast from my experience go with the i5.No sense getting the fx because of two more cores for streaming when it cant even

reliably run the game in the first place.

 

Edit: The 6600k was overclocked slightly

Tight and low budget - Fx 6300 will do the job fairly

Not tight budget - i5 6500 is better than Fx 6300 in all respect.

 

Personally, i won't go for Fx 6300 because it no longer assure future proofing ( although you can't guarantee future proofing in cpu and gpu so buying latest one is little better option) , with i5 you will get your hand on DDR4 memory ( increase in both frequency and latency compare to DDR3) so ' DDR4 will not give you monster increase in performance but it will give performance than DDR3. New sky lake processor is much better than any old Fx or   intel 4th gen processor in terms of performance ( streaming, gaming, etc) future proofing.
