Intel Or AMD

[Starlord808]

so I have enough money for a high end cpu but I can’t decide between the 9900K or an AMD 3000. I do want to edit videos but I have free 7700K that I wanted to use as my streaming and recording/editing of since I care about my gaming performance over everything. Although if I can use my 7700K and make a home theater pc that’d be more ideal. Basically I don’t know what to do and what would be better

Nah just let a 20 series GPU handle the streaming while you game. This way you could spend more on the GPU in the first place.

no, you do that with streaming software like OBS or even Shadowplay. You can program to use NVENC (which is the encoder inside Nvidia cards). Shadowplay is special in that it only uses NVENC with very few options for further tweaking, so it's less common for pros.
