Get a i5-4690k? It's hella good too, and is typically 220-225.

4690k isn't X99, and HT means hyperthreading. It basically makes 4 additional virtual cores for your pc to use.

What about the Xeon 1231v3 they said too. Should I go with Xeon 1231v3 or 4690k?

Get an i5-4690k because Skylake is overpriced.

Hmm you can possibly use the Thinkpad as a streaming device, let your desktop do the gaming and the thinkpad do the streaming. Its just another option to think about.

If you do enough video editing / streaming than the Xeon 1231 will be the better choice.

Yes, it has 4 cores, 8 threads, and is clocked at 3.4Ghz with a turbo clock of 3.8Ghz so it is plenty capable of gaming and rendering / streaming.

 

Get the Xeon 1231v3.
