Upgrade my CPU for streaming

[Su1tch]

Hi everyone, sometimes i do streaming on twitch, i don't have any problems with my internet service, but i have an issue when i play some "hardware" intensive games (Battlefield 4, GTA V, etc.) i get a lot of FPS drops, for example: streaming battlefield @ 720p / 30fps i go from 150-130 fps to 75-60 and it starts to freeze (0 fps). (I play BF4 @ low settings)

 

• i5 3330

• 8gb DDR3 HyperX

• Random $100 MSI motherboard

• 2 HDD, 1 SSD (windows)

• Windows 10 Pro

• EVGA GTX 960 2gb

• Main monitor: Samsung 1080p, second monitor: Samsung 1400x900.

 

I read a lot of reviews and guides about this and seems to be a CPU problem, i can pay max. $250 USD on a new CPU and Motherboard.

Never had issues streaming on my FX8350, but I'm sure people will tell me I'm wrong...

If you use OBS, stream using the iGPU if it supports Intel Quick Sync.

^ the answer is right here but just make sure u test it before u buy it. Or buy a new 3770 if you can find one if you dont trust used stuff.

you probably had no issues at all. streaming when using the CPU for encoding benifits from lots of cores, so the 8350 is a good fit. that being said, if he has a mobo for the i3-3330, a 3770 is only a new CPU, making for an easier upgrade

Well its only advantage when streaming is the thread count. Which is where the i5 would be let down a bit depending on the game. Even a Sandybridge i7 however is better for streaming than your FX 8350/9590.

It has to be better because it's intel.

You want more thread's, like people are saying find a 3770, otherwise get a new motherboard and go 4790k or 6700k.
