Hey everyone, just wondering which processor would be better for streaming and gaming at the same time, the games i will be playing are the likes of rocket league, world of warcraft (mainly) , and minecraft! I am currently running a AMD A10 6700k 3.7 GHZ, and i was just wondering if this would be a better upgrade for gaming and streaming at the same time: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX8350-Edition-Processor-4-2GHz/dp/B009O7YUF6 im also running a GTX 750 1GB! Thank you everyone :p

Yes the FX6300, 6350, 8320, or 8350 would be better for you. None of them are supported on your current motherboard. If you're going to upgrade/replace your motherboard, you really should get Intel. A regular i5 would be a huge upgrade for you.

Don't go discounting the FX 6300. I run one in a gaming rig with an R9 280 and 8G DDR 1600... Never come close to bottle necking the CPU in any game while recording and it's $100 cheaper than the FX 8320. Easy to overclock with a cheap custom cooler and never goes over 45°C @ 4.2 Ghz

Not a bad choice on a budget for gaming and recording at 1080p... If you're going 4k and running a GTX 970 or R9 390 or higher I'd definitely go with 8 cores though.
