As the title says, which of these two CPU's would be best for recording, editing, and streaming games? I suppose streaming isn't as important, seeing as I'm planning on a 1060 3GB, and taking advantage of shadowplay since I've heard it lowers stress on CPU's while streaming. Anyways, I know that the i5 is a quad core, but the i3 has hyperthreading, bringing the dual core up to a technical quad core too. The i3 also runs at a faster clock speed. But would the fact that the i3 utilizes logical, not physical, cores have an effect on recording/editing? If the i5 is better, is it worth the extra $85, especially for somebody on a $600 budget? (Brings it from $580 up to $660, already over budget, but if it's worth it, I'll take it) Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!
