Streaming CPU

[Shuaib Aliyu]

For my first PC build,i plan on gaming and doing some streaming. I was looking at the Ryzen 5 1500x vs the Ryzen 5 1400. I want to know if extra threads make a noticeable difference when streaming, or if a simple overclock could clear that up.

I also want to know if they have the same number of cores and threads. I've been doing some research and difference places have different numbers for some reason.

if you are streaming go for the 1600, its a huge jump in performance for a small cost increase.

Its a $20 difference between a 1500x and a 1600, you can fit it into the budget i'm sure. You also get a stronger CPU cooler.

$20 difference? From what I'm looking at its almost double that

Oh,you're looking at Newegg. I use PCPartPicker to help myself and i found a 1500x for $165 at the cheapest. Cheapest 1600 is $200. Thanks for the help though.

Even at that price the 1600 is worth every single cent. The quad core ryzen CPUs are not fast enough, its like buying a 4th gen i7 brand new.

If you had roughly a $900 budget, and you wanted it to look somewhat good and could game (well) and stream (decently) how would you do it? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XFHGsJ

This is what I'm at right now

I stream on a 1500X... I haven't had any major issues.

How much did your build cost?

About $450... but I brought some parts from my old build over.

I'm trying to have a total setup cost of about $1,100. So far my PC list is about 900 then my moniter,mouse,keyboard,headset and whatever else are gonna have to fit in that $200 bit

I mean, you easily still could.  You don't need super fancy stuff.  Sure, it's nicer, but it can be done.

the manta is a large case anyway, i don't see the point, if you are on a budget, avoid mitx. Half the ram and a lower CPU,

Ryzen 5 1500x is a waste of money since it only takes 1 minute to overclock the  ryzen 5 1400 to match it for free on any b350 board using stock cooler, both are 4c/8t.

 

Ryzen 5 1600 on the other hand is a 6c/12t so there actually is performance gain here.

It can.  It's not perfect, but he'll have better overall performance out of his system.

Even with a 1070, his streaming performance will tank without an SSD or atleast another HDD.

Thank you to the both of you,now i really feel stupid lol. I liked the small footstep of a mini-itx and wanted to go down that route. I know the manta was a bit big for a mini itx,thats why i was also looking at the Shift and Silverstone RVZ03, but you might be right. Maybe i should go micro or regular ATX instead.
