Hello, i want to upgrade my PC from the current specs :
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU ~ 3.1GHz
RAM : 8 GB Corsair DDR3 XMS 1333 MHz
Video Card : Gigabyte NVidia GeForce GT 430 , 1 GB GDDR3
SSD : Flash SSD Kingston V300 , 60 GB
Hard Disk (HDD) : 1 TB Seagate , 7200 RPM
Motherboard : Gibabyte H61M-S2V-B3

I want to upgrade the CPU and Video Card but i don't know what cpu is the best suited for livestreaming games. The I5 3470 or I7 2600.
For the GPU , i want to buy this : GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 960 G1 GAMING 2GB DDR5 128-bit. (If you know a better video card that has the same price or lower its good to know)

Ty for reading ;)

Go with i7 2600 just because it has more threads and higher frequency.Even know its older third gen of intel core are only better by 6% which means if second gen has 1ghz and third has 1ghz , third would perform on 6% better. Also if you have a good power supply go with r9 280x instead of gtx 960. Its cheaper and it performs better. If not that go with 960. Good luck gaming
