Hey guys, I have searched high and low and have found good facts about intel and amd. I think I know the answer to my question but i am still not sure.

I am building my computer, this is my 2nd personal build I have done by myself and I never went intel in my last rig.

I love to stream and I know 8 cores will be good, but is the i5 Better if not the same as the FX 8 core amd's?

I have not OC yet, and I wanted to do it this build so any information on which CPU/Brand could help.

If I have to wait another two weeks to a month to have the perfect system I will. Also if you want to try to pich me about i7 I will listen I just don't want to spend pointless money.

I am looking for no lag while streaming, high-ultra 1080p.

Thank you

The best approach to streaming games to sites like twitch.tv, is to have two separate PCs - a gaming PC and a streaming rig - the main gaming PC can run a CPU that can handle the game, while the streaming rig handles all of the load for streaming -

^That's such an expensive solution to it though. They can stream decently at at least 30FPS in 720P/1080P with high settings. Check the youtube link I posted.

Although that probably is the BEST solution. But not for your wallet :lol:

Wow, these are all great solutions. This is my first time asking on this thread. It seems to have a great community, with quick responses. I don't know if a best solution is going to be easy -_-

Yea, an entire extra computer is beyond my price range, but I didn't even think of getting a separate computer to dedicate streaming. Would a capture card be any better and cost a lot less?
