vr CPU to pair with my 3060 for VR/Streaming PC.

[AmWatson]

I need to build a PC that is ready for my VR streaming and i'm still to new at building PC any help on designing this new PC would be great I plan on adding a new 3060. Unless there is a better suited GPU for it that I don't know about. FYI I need a CPU Too.

3060 honestly not worth the money just go for a 3070 when they get back to retail prices.

Why is the the 3060 not worth the money and just go for the 3070?

The 3070 is not a huge jump in price to the 3060 but almost double the performance.

Wouldn't recommend, go for the ryzen 5 3600x on an x570 motherboard

From what I've heard, streaming is CPU intensive, streamers would game on one PC then use a second to stream. This would free some resources for the Gaming PC to run games at full power. I recommend maybe an I7 or Ryzen 7 latest gen to last for your build (11th gen Intel or 5000 series for AMD).

no.... dont do that at all. 

A 5600x on a b500 will cost the same and be sooo much better

But for streaming , even on nvenc, a 5800x would be a better buy for the other 2 cores

the 3070 costs 170$ more (theoretical pricing) than a vinilla 3060 for maybe 50% more perf, not double the performance.....

I do have a second computer that is mainly set of up for streaming but I need a more powerful computer for my VR setup. I really need help compiling the parts on PCPARTPICKER.
