What would be the best for what I need?

This is a simple one for you all, I want to know what would be the best for gaming and streaming to twitch at 720P/60FPS. I have a fixed price point of $650 and this will be a gaming and streaming PC and I am having a hard time picking what build would be the best.  Both will have a capture card in the price to stream at 720p/60FPS and maybe 1080P/60FPS. The problem I am having is, atholon x4 750K with a 750TI from MSI or a 6300 with a 750 from EVGA. I don't need a SSD, monitor, keyboard, HDD, OS, or mouse.

 

 

This is what I got for the atholon x4 build

I'd go with the first option to stick with the newer platform and to get the better gpu.

You also get an Athlon 760K which is about $5 more. I mean, why the hell not? It's chump change at that point.

Thanks, I will be going with that one now.

I heard the 760K can just OC a bit better than the 750K, is there any other reason to consider it?

well, wouldn't it make more sense buying the cheaper one now and then getting a newer version when it comes out later?

What do you mean? The 760K has been out for quite a while.

Get the 750K now and then buy the new atholan when it comes out, if it's a more of a performance.
