if your in dire need of a mobo upgrade id say sure. its a pretty solid board especially for that price.

i want it for gaming and game streaming, with some video editing, do you think it will be able to take the workload?

that would mostly come down to your other specs, like if your cpu/gpu can handle it, have enough RAM, ETC. Unless you have a terrible mobo now, it probably should do fine anyways with proper cooling (good CPU cooler, good positive airflow in case). If it really is your mobo thats holding you back, it should do fine assuming your other parts are up to the task.

It's a motherboard, it only connects components together and so has no real impact on performance.

Streaming is a time sensitive and heavy work load so I'd recommend moving the encoding onto a second PC but other then that it's pretty good.

With a 7600k, you have 4C/4T count. that will do fine for gaming, but when you toss in streaming or recording at the same time (on the same PC) you will find everything bogging down. For video editing, depending on what you use, it could utilize either more CPU or GPU, and you'll want probably a minimum of 16GB of RAM.

I would advise beefing up the parts a bit if your wanting to do it all at the same time kinda thing, or settle on doing 1 at a time, or only streaming/recording in lower quality on not as extensive games. Have you already purchased some parts and are locked into the build? or are you able to change up a bit?

As long as you have enough RAM, good GPU, and arent going for absolute highest recording/streaming settings, i think it should be alright it most cases. Whats the full spec of your build?

thats the deal i need right now... good deal for a gameing PC id say

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
