Hello i am currently in the process of upgrading my PC and i am starting with the CPU i have chosen to go with ryzen because i am starting to stream at 720p 30fps and believe the extra cores and threads will help with performance but i need to decide between the Ryzen 5 2600x and Ryzen 7 1700. They are both around $300 AUD so the price difference doesnt matter. I just want to know if it will be worth it to get the 1700 as it is better for a bit streaming or i should save 15$ and get a slightly better gaming cpu.

Thank you

They both have average overclock 4.0. Go with the 1700 and pick up some fast 3000mhz+ ram

maybe on like an AIO or something with a ton of voltage, my 1700 can't hold more then 3.75Ghz all core on the stock air cooler.

 

OP I would go more cores over top speed per core for streaming.

When I say overclock, I dont mean on a stock cooler
