(Groans) Intel....

[Joseph Stacklin]

Well, hello, everyone! I am a YouTubber, much like linus, but I also do games. Out of the following processors below, which would be the best for:

• High end gaming (1080p, High Settings, Minimal to medium AA)
• Graphical video rendering in a linear video editor
• Streaming
• Everyday use

The processors:

• AMD FX-8570
• Intel i5 6600K
• Intel i7 6700K

Thank you in advanced!

6600k or 6700k, whichever fits your budget best, imo

[Oberon.Smite]

Definetely the i7 6700k, but if you're on a budget the 6600k should suffice. Whatever you do don't get the FX CPU.

[Arwanell]

i7 obviouslly

i5 will also do a great job

FX is good for #2, but will "suck" at gaming

[DaltonM]

Either the i5 or i7 will do you. i5 will work great for games, but if you really want the extra rendering speed, get the i7. 

 

But the i5 won't bottleneck you in 99% of games. 

[aneil1998]

Always go intel for intel when gaming.

 

The 6700k will be ideal. 

[Epiclol86]

well the best of the bunch is 6700k...

[GodSpoon]

The 6600K or 6700K according to your budget
