Intel 4690k vs amd fx 8350
Graphics cards: r9 280
-Which processor will be better to stream, play league of legends or games like that, and skype with friends at the same time?
-Will either of these 2 cpus bottleneck my gpu?
-Which one should I buy?
 
Solution
i5 4690K is a better CPU overall. In matter of fact.. i5 4690K is most chosen CPU by gamers.
It's also a good overclocker and you can squeeze more out of it.
Neither of CPUs would bottleneck an R9 280.
You can run X2 GTX 970's or X2 R9 290X's and there would still be no bottleneck.

Go for the fx 8350 if you're streaming, neither will bottleneck your GPU. Honestly, you can have around 10 applications opened with the fx 8350. Link me to your stream, I play league of legends too
