Hey! i currently have a intel pentium g4560 as well as a gtx 1050 and a asus b250m-a motherboard as my rig, im looking to game at around 120fps and stream 720p and my cpu is just not strong enough. If i upgrade to a i5 7600k would i be fine or is it a bottleneck. Please help

I recommend using NVENC to stream, try it.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

What games, what resolution, which quality settings, what software to stream and what are all the specs of your pc?

If you're formally an engineer, avoid responsibility. That's what senior engineers get paid for.

80-100 might be doable depending on the game but 120 seems like a bit of a long shot. I've got a feeling that your GPU is keeping it from hitting 120.

I'm not completely sure, but I agree with 1kv. 

 

Btw. Welcome to the forums! I'd advise you to next time, quote someone so they know you replied :)

i can game with my current rig around 120fps, but i cant stream at the same time. ive tried nvenc and x264. just wondering if a i5 7600k would help with streaming

A bit but I think you'll still be having a lot of stuttering you'd probably need a 7700. Don't bother to go for a 7*00k because you can't overclock with that board

the i5 7700 is not compatible

yes im aware but i was thinking between the i5 7600k and the i7 7700, both are compatible and its about a 130 price gap favouring the i5.

Lol just save up and get a ryzen 1600/2600 xD. To answer your initiall question an 7600k will not bottleneck the 1050, but your system is not optimal for streaming with your requirements

how easy would it be to upgrade my gpu to a 1060 and my cpu to a i7. is it as easy as plug it in and go? im hesitant to upgrade as i dont know how easy it is.

Pretty much plug n play

No, you'll have a overall better performing pc. However you will have a cpu that can oc, but a mobo that can't. A gpu that is better, good enough for 1080p med 120hz Gaming. 

But that cpu is borderline for streaming

if i crank my settings to low in game, and had 720p possibly 30fps for streaming then would i be good to stream? thx for the help btw

I havent streamed in a while(4 - 5 years) so i dont remember quite well, but streaming requires a good quantity of RAM, maybe with the ups to a i5 or a i7 throw more 8 GB of RAM?
