4770k Upgrade - Gaming, Editing, Streaming

[ShadowCaptain]

Hello everyone, wow, not been here in a while....

Anyway, I am looking to upgrade my PC as my 4770k is starting to bog me down,

I game at 1440p 60 or 1080p 144hz,  (hoping to upgrade to 1440p 144hz later in the year)

I edit 4k footage from my Sony A73 in davinci resolve

Wanting to do some stwitch streaming (probably using nvenc) not sure how CPU dependant this is

 

Most games etc are fine but some new games like COD Warzone are pushing my CPU to 100% when gaming, and im struggling to edit 4k etc as its just so laggy

 

My current pc is a 4770k

16GB Corsair Vengeance Ram at 2400mhz

EVGA 1080 FTW

 

My budget is around £350 but I MIGHT be able to push £500 if there is anything better that will give more performance , but I might spend the extra budget on faster SSDs like NVMe etc

My main contender was a Ryzen 3600 and 16 or 32gb of ram, BUT i know 10th gen 10600k is around the corner and looks promising

Ideas guys and gals

 

Good to see you all

Haven’t see anything about the 10th gen stuff. But if I were to get an Intel chip I’d prolly use the old rig to stream. 
Or get amd and hope it can stream and play off the same rig with no side effects. 
 

But I still play on my other rig which is the same setup, still playable but being at 95% on every core does stuck along with the lost frames.

We really don't know how the new Intel cpu's are gonna rack up against zen 2 better ipc is expected and the same memory controller which is lame but the chache latency isn't bad on intel cpu's so that's not a problem but I still recommend waiting plus the 4770k should serve you well for a couple of weeks / a month from now on

Yeah I feel like waiting could be a good idea just i wouldnt want to miss out on something for lack of patience

 

Is there any benefit to my looking at say Ryzen 7 or is it largely a waste for my requirements?

You would be benefiting greatly from it if you use hyper threaded workloads which you do so yes you would
