The past few days i've been streaming on my old i5-2500k and some games (BF1, Vermintide and others) are really getting choppy even at 30 fps. Back when i built the bulk of this pc (2012) i hadn't intended on streaming at all.
Basically my question is what are some good components to upgrade to that have great price - performance value. I'll be getting my tax refunds soon (should be around $700) and i already have my hard drives / gpu taken care of (970).
The only components i think i'll need will be a new CPU, Motherboard, RAM and CPU cooler. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and the lower the price the better but i don't want to compromise too much performance. The goal for me is to stream in 720p at 60 fps.
