i7 vs i5

[cfrozer]

Want your guys take for a i7 vs i5 for streaming. Building a separate streaming/recording PC. I plan to stream at 720p at 30 and record at 1080p 60fps. I have a 760 GPU to use when I have a LAN party.

i would like to save a few bucks but can get a i7 if needed. 

Already have another z270 board.

You can do all that with one PC.

Just upgrade the computer you already have instead of wasting money unnecessarily.

I would recommend an i7 or Ryzen 5 1600(X) for streaming. Also you should save some money to change the GPU for an RX 580 (or better).

get ryzen 5 1600 and make it your main pc

then use your current pc for streaming only

btw 1600 can stream without another pc so if you havent got a capture card yet dont get one and use the money to get a 1700

So?

You can still stream, play, and record with a single PC while getting 144+ fps...

Unless you're doing it as a job and making thousands of dollars a month it is a pretty big waste to make a dual PC setup.

Even most professional streamers don't even use two PCs, because it's a lot easier and simpler with one.

i would use i7

with the extra your paying for intel you can get an ssd

Don't use optane...

Get a regular SSD.

Optane is only good if you have a really old PC that still uses only a hard drive.

but optane only works with 7th gen cpus and boards... so it is a big fail....

Heh, upside down world. Now it's not people buying 8350's when it makes no sense, but people buying i5's or i7's when it makes no sense.

Yeah, better to wait for optane to be released as full real drives, not this tiny cache for accelerating hard drives.

[ybriK]

Ryzen 5 1600 or nothing.
