I have a rx 470 sapphire 4gb and need a cpu either ryzen 1800x or 2600x if i had either would that be good enough to stream fortnite?

out of those two, the 1800x. Though maybe look at a 1700, theyre cheap as hell right now.

probably 1700 or 2700 be good, if you wont do "extreme" owerclocks, you can still OC 1700 but not to that extent, for streaming both will work.

1700 will absolutely play and stream Fortnite with ease.

 

Overclocking can be good depending on the luck of the draw. 3.4-3.6 should be easily doable. 3.6-3.8 is highly probably. 3.8+ would be winning the lottery.

 

However, Fortnite isn't terribly CPU heavy and streaming software like OBS will take advantage of the multi-cores. So far I haven't ran into any game on my 1700 @ 3.8ghz w/ 1070 that I can't stream at 1080p to twitch.

If heat is any issue, I have a 2700X running at 3.8 GHz at 1.1V You can see if you can run stable at these settings on Ryzen 2 CPU's.

Either is good.  If the 1800x is about the same price or cheaper I'd get that.
