i keep hearing that if you want to comfortably live stream/edit videos you would want to consider 8 core and 6 core cpus' or at least a 4 core cpu with hyper threading so i recently started looking at upgrading my cpu since i want to start streaming on twitch and editing videos more effectively with less lag (that i get a lot of if the video exceeds 8 minutes in Vegas platinum 12) my current rig has an i5 4670k, 16gb hyperx genesis ddr3 1600mhz ram, intel hd graphics (i will be getting an r7 260x very soon) and 2 1440x900 monitors. I understand that the xeon e3 CPU's do not overclock, which is fine by me since I have no plans to over clock my hardware.; anyway I mainly want to know if the xeon e3 1245-v3 is a good choice for what I want to do (which is gaming, editing gameplay videos and live streaming.) or if i should just save up and go with the i7 4770. thanks for the help :)

Have you thought about instead of upgrading the CPU to switch your purchase of the 260x to something like an NVidia GTX760 and use shadowplay? It uses the video cards H.264 compression engine to compress the video so you don't really notice performance problems while playing since it doesn't hammer your CPU.

It supports live streaming directly through twitch if I remember correctly as well as recording the compressed video on the fly. It will also do it and record your last X number of minutes so if you do something you want to keep you can just save that video instead of the whole time playing (Though I'm talking from memory since I don't really use it all that much).

Dear you should stick with i7 4770 or better i7 4771 if you really don't want to overclock. I see no reason for you going with Xeon based processor. Average CPU mark for xeon e3 1235v3 is 9628 whereas for i7 4770 it is 9966. It is even better for i7 4770k i.e 10,386.
