1700x or 7700K

[MKeefeus]

I am looking to upgrade from my FX-8350. Im looking at either the 7700k or the 1700x. My issue is, I speedrun dishonored and for the of the tricks in the run, you need to maintain a very high framerate (190+ FPS). I also stream and locally record while doing runs. I know that the overall gaming performance of the 7700k is better, but I also know that the 1700x would have an easier time streaming/recording. If I want to stream 720p@30 and record 1080p@60, while not having frames suffer to drasticall, should i get the 7700k or the 1700x? (keep in mind that my fx-8350 can keep these framerates while streaming, but just barely, although I cant locally record with the fx CPU)

then, you know what you need to know to make your purchase decision.

if you can wait a week or two. Wait, see some benches then make a informed plan

has every review dropped ? Plus as far as we know these could cherry picked chips. also intel could respond with a price slash

My issue is i cant really wait, for various reasons. I should rephrase my question. Will those tasks overload a 7700k or result in a severe bottleneck from the cpu?

no but the 1700x is more futureproof with higher number of cores and a pretty decent clock speed

Have you considered just putting together a small dedicated streaming PC? Just mirror display to a capture device/card connected to the streaming PC and let it handle the load. Probably don't need more than a G4560 and no GPU in the streaming rig. It would completely take the load off of your gaming machine and allow you to change or use whatever hardware you want.

Indeed maybe just a laptop or something you have around and some usb capture card. This would be a "cheap" solution.
