Hi, i'm thinking about doing streams on twitch and all that and wondering which of these cpus would be better. If your not familiar with streaming the cpus will need to run the game, a split timer and probably a second monitor just for music or something.I was thinking on these processors:

amd fx 8320 £108

amd fx 8350 £148

intel i5 4670k plus intel MB £229

thx in advance :)

Definaltly the 8350. they are gerat for streaming as they have 8 cores which is great for multitasking plus there cheap and overclock very well. i have one and i can tell you its a great cpu for games like bf4 that use all 8 cores. when a game uses all 8 cores the 8350 beats i7s

welll they are the same except the 8350 is clocked higher. you could overclock the 8320 but then you would have to by a cooler for about 30 and you would only really save 10 so i would go with the 8350 for the extra 40 and in the future you can overclock it to 4.5-5Ghz. It would also help you alot if you streaming with the higher clock the 8350 has

It will have 2 extra cores to utilise over that FX 6300, so things may run a little smoother. I'd recommend a different motherboard to that one (unless you already have it); for a 970 board a M5A97 R2.0 or a GA-970A-UD3 - or for a more expensive (and better overclocking) 990FX board a M5A99X or a GA-990FXA-UD(3,5,7).

So do you have a 6300 at the moment? Is it not performing well enough?

I already have the extreme 4 yes and since the fx 6300 at 55C just gaming I think i'll need a better to have other things going since it should only go as high as 61C

An FX 83xx would only run hotter. What you need first is a better CPU cooler. Are you currently using the stock one?

Fair enough. I ran my 8320 @ 4.4 and it was cooler than that when gaming, but whatever. It differs on every CPU. As I said though, getting an FX 83xx series would only run hotter than that.

It performs absolutely fine. However it seems mine might have a weak/faulty IMC and I might have to return it. But I'll definitely get a replacement, nothing beats its price/performance.
