Which of my spare cpu’s should I use for dedicated stream PC?

[MasonCase]

So currently I have 2 spare cpu’s which has brought me to a fork in the road based on the spare hardware I have. I plan to just run discord, music, and stream from this pc

 

I already have a spare psu and hdd I’m going to use. Also a spare zotac 1050 I’m going to use.

 

route 1: I have a spare i5-4590 which I have a motherboard for already. GIGABYTE GA-H81M-H LGA 1150. I also have a 2 spare ddr3 dimms but unfortunately they are mismatching dimms one is 4 gb one is 8 gb. I only have an old oem cooler for this one so I’d have to get one.

 

route 2: Spare Ryzen 3 1200. I do have a cooler for this guy, but I have no mobo or spare ddr4 dims.

 

Plan to use this case:

MasterBox Q300L mATX Case w/ Magnetic Design Dust Filter, Transparent Acrylic Side Panel, Air Flow Performance by Cooler Master http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=11-119-331&ignorebbr=true

 

What do you guys think?

a 4590 isn't that bad, i would do it just to have it cost a bit less

A 4590 is going to stream no problem and you already have many of the parts. Dedicated streaming PCs don't need to be all that powerful, they aren't wrapped up in trying to play a game at the same time.

I'd go with the 4590. The stock cooler is fine for that CPU.

I should have said an oem cooler that doesn’t fit regular mobos... thanks for the response
