What cpu should i use specifically for streaming?

[iPickle94]

Howdy! I'm currently trying to set up a streaming only computer, and use that cool feature located in OBS. But I'm having trouble finding a denct CPU for cheap money. Ive been looking at the I7-3770 but was hoping i could find something cheaper. I plan on using either a 1060 6gb or a 1660 ti for the GPU. 

 

If you guys know of any builds that i could follow as well or, build blogs i could follow that would be gratfully apreciated as well.

Why are you looking for a 3770 in 2019? Do you already have a motherboard for it? For what price is it?

I was looking at it cause I can pick up a cheap Dell Optiplex 7010 for less then $150, have everything I need, and either add a gpu or the elgato capture card (which im realizing that i didnt mention in my first post).

i7 2600 perhaps?

It depends on what encoder you use, the new Nvidia NVENC Encoder or x264, If x264 I dont think you'd have a budget for it to get good quality for cheap, if NVENC a good gpu etc 1660/1660ti would be fantastic for it, which NVENC takes all stress from cpu to gpu, so you'd get past having a low end cpu etc Ryzen 3 1200 or 2200g

Thats kinda the plan for what i want to do, is use nvenc. Hopefully not breaking thw bank with it too. Not to sure if a 1050 would be good enough though.
