Gaming/Streaming Processor

[Elegy]

Hello, I am building a new rig to stream 1080p 60fps games. I also will be playing arma in my down time. I am wondering if a 6700k or a 5820k would benefit me more for streaming and gaming. Like I said, I really love to play Arma 3 which is cpu incentive, which processor is best for streaming, and which is best for arma 3?

5820k

5820k hands down may wanna wait and see if they come out with new processors though i think they are soon right?

5820k, more cores.

 

also Arma runs great ona  5820k.

the 5820k is much better for streaming and gaming at the same time. although the 5960x would be ideal.

Work within your budget, if you can afford the 5820K and Mobo to suit then defs go with that but if you can't afford that then the 6700K ought to be enough to get what you need. Having a quick google about streaming requirements for 1080p 60fps it seems that you'll encounter a performance hit in game that could drop you below 60fps avg (if you decide to stream gameplay at the same time). Have a read here on the teamliquid forum.
