I am buying parts for my computer. I am currently debating between 2 processors.
I would like to save money if I can but I am wondering if the i5 4590 can handle streaming games like LoL, CS:GO, Arma 2/3, Dayz, Minecraft, and other games like that. I want to save money like I said if this can handle doing that I will stick with this processor but if it wont do the job to well I can probably get enough money for the i5 4690k but that is last resort. This is the build I am planning on doing just like I said debating on the processor. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wgXmK8
Thanks, Dalem

Save your money, get h97 board, and i5 4590, it will stream just as well. Very little difference in gaming performance/multi tasking between an oc i5 and stock i5. Not worth the money in my opinion.

You could also look into Xeon cpus, its about same prices as i5, with very similar performance as i7 (without igpu)

Well i recommend any atx h97 board that supports sli/crossfire x16 lanes, with 6gbs sata connections, and from a brand like asus/gigabyte/msi/asrock

you wont notice any differences mostly in h97, just as long as its good build quality from those brands.
