Looking for a CPU for streaming

Go to solution Solved by Ecs,

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm gonna look into the xeon. Seems like a good choice.

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and mobo and I'd like to get into streaming. My current mobo seems to be having some issues so I'm looking to upgrade asap. My CPU budget is about £200.

So far for new ones I've looked at are the i5 6600/6600k and I've seen some used i7 3930k's on ebay. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

 

My current build:

FX 8350

12GB ddr3

RX 480 8GB

500w EVGA PSU

saving up for a i7 6700k would be your best option

I f you were thinking about the 3930k, the e5-1650 V1 Is the same, even overclock able, and usually about $100 on ebay.

The i5 isn't the best for streaming....I'd recommend a secondhand xeon e3 1231 v3
