I plan on streaming PC games like CSGO, Rainbox 6 siege, H1Z1. Looking to only spend around $800-$1000, Is an i5 4690k good enough for what im looking to do? If not What should i get 

Do you have the i5-4690K with you already?

Also your location please?

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

i'd consider -generally- an i5 4460 to be the bare minimum for delivering a quality stream, if you can get a decent OC on that 4690K it certainly wouldnt be bad at all.

 

something to take in mind is the amount of threads your games of choice use.

example: CS:GO uses two threads, so you technically only have two threads that can be fully utilized for livestreaming.

 

i'd recommend something like quicksync or nvenc but from my experience both arent quite as good as x264 encoding, although my testing is a bit dated at this point.

all the yes to this one. i'd try to squeeze in a nice tower cooler for quiet operation, and an SSD tho. (and *please* up that to a 2TB barracuda, the difference is like $20)

Get an SSD along side the HDD. Get the 850 EVO

Why I don't recommend a GTX 970 over an R9 390:

Slightly worse DX11 performance

Significantly worse DX12 performance

Half the VRAM capacity, and even that is segmented into fast and slow portions.

 

And I have no clue why. Even when navigating their site normally, I can't find the part you linked.
