CPU for Gaming and Streaming?

Been looking to get a new CPU to replace Core i5 6500. What I'm looking for is a CPU that can game and stream on the twitch. The current MOBO I'm using is an MSI - B150 PC Mate ATX LGA1151 Motherboard and the CPU I have been looking at is the Core i5 8600k, because of the more cores and threads. I just want to know if the 8600k would be a good choice over the 7700k CPU. I'm rocking a GTX 1060 3gb GPU and mostly just need to play my games at 1080p. Please and thank you.

You cannot use 8th gen CPUs on 1xx or 2xx motherboards. You have to get a Z370.

If you want to game and stream you either go 8700k or Ryzen 5 1600/1700.
