i3-8100 or i5-9600K?

Just curious, I have recently built my Gaming PC with the Intel Core i3-8100 3.6Ghz, should I save up and build something better? Or should I get the 15-9600K, and I have a 1050Ti, not sure which pairs well, I do not want to bottleneck anything. I also have 16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400Mhz memory.

 

Please give me feedback! I do record tech videos on my channel, I may start gaming videos. Some games hold up fine.

Thanks,

your CPU is definitely not bottlenecking your GTX 1050Ti, but you can record gaming videos with Nvidia ShadowPlay, it shouldn't hurt performance at all as far as I know.

Your system is fine as long as you dont stream. Shadowplay does badly in video compression so make sure you max out bitrate. You can do the video compression after editing.
