Hello all,
I've been starting to do a lot of live-streaming and recording for my games lately (more so of live-streaming), and Christmas is coming so it's inquiring me to upgrade certain parts of my 3 month old pc.
I had a budget and since I wanted as much graphics power as possible, I went for the i5-3570k and GTX 770 option. Since I'm really into recording and streaming, I want my viewers to get the best performance possible on their end, and also on my end.
So I've been thinking (depending on how Christmas goes) which would be better. I was thinking about upgrading to a i7-3770k and/or possibly an avermedia live gamer HD capture card.
That would come out to ~$500-550.
The other option I was looking at was the 3930k. With that needing a motherboard, I would need to spend ~$700-800 with the CPU and new mobo.
I love my gaming, but when I want to stream / record 1080p and 60fps, this i5-3570k is just not cutting it. Right now the best I can do without a seriously demanding performance drop is 720p @ 48 FPS (that's not including games like ArmA, DayZ, Outlast, Train Sim, etc.).
Also after looking at reviews, the 3930k should be great in render times, as well as any 3d modeling software and for ArmA.
"Future Proofing" being a dream of mine, this is a hard decision.
Any advice would be great, thanks in advance. ^_^
