Ryzen 5 1500x vs 1600 for streaming/live recording.

I'm trying to decide between the 1500x and 1600 for a new build I'm doing at the end of the summer. I'm going to want to stream/record League of Legends and CS:GO and play titles live GTA 5, Skyrim Remastered, DOOM, and the like. I would be overclocking both to the max the can comfortably run on the stock wraith spire cooler if that matters. I will also have a GTX 1060 3 GB or better graphics card with at least DDR4-2400 ram. I'm thinking the extra 2 cores will be more beneficial than the clock speed and I can't afford the 1600X. 

CPU: Ryzen 3 1200 @3.7GHz GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 3GB ACX 2.0 Motherboard: ASRock AB350M
CPU Cooler: Wraith Cooler RAM: G.Skill FlareX 2933Mhz Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-ALPHA Blue PSU: Corsair VS 500
Displays: 2x HP 24ea Storage: Silicon Power 240 GB (OS+programs), Seagate - BarraCuda 1TB 7200RPM (Games) Keyboard: Corsair K70 Rapidfire RGB w/ Cherry MX Speed switches Mouse: Corsair Scimitar RGB

1600 > 1500x, 1600x not worth.

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

That was kind of my line of thinking. Thanks for the validation.
