cpu CPU for Game Recording/Streaming

[HunterSailor]

Greetings everyone

So I was planning to build a second system for recording/streaming the games I play to a second computer because I have a few processors lying around. I have a Q8400 and an i7 920. I also have a H61 Motherboard(LGA1155).

So which one will be better for the above-mentioned task Q8400, i7 920 or i3 3220?

Let me know if I'm missing something, like a certain amount of RAM if that's a factor.

Thanks.

The i7 makes the most sense out of all 3. Multithreaded for stream encoding, decent single threaded (relatively speaking)

Go big or go home

Buy cheap buy twice

Yeah cause he obviously has an 8700k lying around mixed with those other 3

I'll just go home then.

 

Good point but, I just want to use one of the CPUs which I already have. Used 8700k will still cost me more and this will be for a second computer. So I don't want to spend that much.

That makes sense.
