Hello all! I plan on building a new computer for live streaming and gaming at the same time off of the same machine. However, I am a little confused on which processor would be better. I keep hearing that games these days do not take advantage of the hyperthreading that the i7 offers so the i5 is plenty good enough for gaming. Nevertheless, with live streaming, I have seen that hyperthreading helps but no one has shown me any evidence so I don't really know what to do.
If there is no difference in live streaming, probably at 720p, between the two than I will get the i5 and the money that I save on that will probably go to a better graphics card because I am currently looking at a GTX 660 OC twin frozr or maybe a Radeon HD 7870 Ghz edition. They are both around $200 and this is a bit of a budget build. I am trying to keep my total around the lower $800 because I already have a case, monitor, mouse, keyboard, and OS
Anywho, which processor is better for live streaming?
tl;dr Which processor is better for live streaming, i7-4770k or i5-4670k
