Best upgrade route?

[Beastattack]

I play CS:GO alot and I've been wanting to stream at 720p60FPS while maintaining 144+ frames without dipping below 144 on almost all low settings. Currently I have a msi PC-MATE h97, I5-4460, 8 gb Corsair Vengeance ram, and a msi GTX 970 and get about 100-150 (mainly around 120 with some rare spikes to 150 fps and rare drops to 100) frames on 720p30 fps low settings on both OBS and CSGO. I have about $500-600 budget with $600 being the absolute most, I was wondering if its better for me to A. keep everything and just upgrade to a CPU with the same socket, B. Upgrade motherboard, CPU, and ram. C. Somehow optimize OBS in way I haven't done yet to achieve playable 720p30fps, I would settle for playable 720p30fps if it meant saving $600.

add another 8gb of ram and go to a 4790k

maybe new mobo with ryzen cpu? cores are good for streaming, add more ram

BUT, this will keep costs down... i mean he could get away with a 1600, 8(maybe 16gb) of ram and a decent MOBO.

Are those usd....

 

I would go for a ryzen setup too. Aka R5 1600 and 16gb. 

 

My cheap side says just get an i7, but prices on those seem to not be that enormously cheaper than ryzen. If you have the budget and want what you want I would just fork out and upgrade to the ryzen platform.

Haven't looked into Ryzen much, but do you think the r5 would definitely be an improvement over the i7 4790k. With that price I just can't be sure

What's a decent mobo that would fit into that setup? Is the difference between that and the upgrading ram and to an I7 4790k worth the price difference?

Bump, still curious what people think.

The Ryzen will perform better but you're looking at 2x the cost. For 720p30fps its not necessary to have a 6 core. Whats your Upload speed?

23 Mbps, 720p60Fps Is probably what I'm mainly going for while still running csgo at 144 FPS. But I also want one that is good for gaming for when I play GTA 5 off stream or other games that are slightly hard to run, don't play many new triple A titles at launch.

Is there a 6 core 3+Ghz Xeon that would fit his mobo and cost less than the i7? I'm on my phone at work or I would check Ark and eBay.

Add another 8GB of ram, and a ssd

keep your current cpu its still good

get a better GPU maybe AMD

Conclusion - Aint worth it to go Xeon in LGA-1150

Just upgrade GPU, SSD, RAM and cooler perhaps

I have a little bit more money coming in then I thought, I have about $750 to spend, is it worth it to get a R7 1700 or is that overkill for Streaming CSGO. The only big game I really play is GTA 5 alot. Is it worth the price over the R5 1600? Or a 1600x could be an option as well.

[asand1]

GTAV will use 12 threads. If you think you'll ever stream GTAV the for sure go with Ryzen 1700.
