hi im looking to build a gaming pc that can stream and record simultaneously. (I AM AWARE THAT 8-CORES ARE BETTER FOR THIS SORT OF WORKLOAD) and im stuck between which one has the better performance (FX 8320 OC 4ghz with msi 970 vs i7 4790 with evga 960) as i know the i7 dominates the fx 8320 but with the 970 on the fx 8320 will it beat the i7 as they are roughly the same price ($1400-$1430) this includes my gaming monitor. The games ill be streaming and recording are

WARFRAME

WOT

Heavily modded Minecraft running sphax x128 and shaders possibly

FALLOUT 4 ( when released)

FAR CRY 4 (1080p Mid or high settings)

(Ps i am aware that more demanding games will peform better on the 970 but its whether the performance is greater on the different cpu and gpu combos I mentioned) THANK YOU AND GO AWAY FANBOYS NOBODY WANTS YOU AROUNG WHEN WE NEED ACCURATE HELP LOL

With minecraft in mind, intel performs better with minecraft.

I imagine it will be the same case when fallout 4 comes out, all the previous games by bethesda performed better on intel.

I use to own the fx 8350 and honestly man its not worth it going amd at this point

P.S. Why not grab the 4690k and the gtx 970?
