So I have recently got into streaming games in twitch and this is where the problem occurs. As soon as I start streaming my CPU (a8 5600k) goes straight to 100% usage. My FPS is usually when streaming at 60 FPSbut the stuttering from the CPU makes it look like 12 FPS. Here is what I'm I'm thinking of doing: Buying a Avermedia live gamer HD and putting it in my PC and at Christmas getting a new PC. Is what I'm doing a good thing or a waste of money/time.

Current PC:

CPU a8 5600k

GPU gigabyte r9 270

Ram 8gb of corsair vengence 1600

MOBO forgot

PSU cx500

1tb we black

And 120gb hyperx SSD

Any ideas for my next streaming/gaming build (around $1500 AUD) must have 8 cores. Thanks-Slyffer6

I'd go for an i7 such as the 4790 or 4790K instead of some AMD CPU, it will absolutely destroy even AMD's 8-core cpus.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

dude that's a sick build thanks but I don't need a case cause my build now is in an air 540 and I'm gonna put the parts in my friends case. Cause he's selling it to me for half price but it has no scratches. And my new build is going in my air 540.

Build with your case, better PSU gives you room for Crossfire.
