Hello, I will be streaming and need a really good CPU. I was thinking about either getting an i5 4570 or an FX 8350. I will be streaming intensive CPU games like arma 3. I hear intel CPUs are greaaat for amra 3 but bad for things like streaming, and I hear AMD CPUs are really good for streaming but bad to run games ESPECIALLY like arma. So I feel like i'm screwed lol. Any suggestions or have a new processor I should look at?
AMD FX or Intel i5?

The 8350 will only benefit you in situations where you are using programs that can take advantage of the eight cores. For gaming, the i5 will be better.
Arma 3 runs like crap (it's poorly optimized). I play it all of the time, and depending on the server, you can be anywhere from 20 FPS (or lower) to over 80 FPS. It really doesn't matter what CPU or GPU you have.
That said, you will be much better off with an i5 playing Arma. The game only uses two cores, and the i5 has much better single core performance.
You need all the single core performance you can get with Arma. If you search around, the majority of people saying that they can't get better than 20 FPS or that their FPS is always low (no matter what they do) are running AMD CPU's. It's because the game only uses two cores, and two 8350 cores just isn't enough for the game.
