Hey Everyone,

I am Considering Buying the Dell Inspirion 15 7000 Series of Gaming Laptops, and am planning to do Gaming, as well as some Video Editing and Streaming on it, if Possible.

The Games I plan to Stream/Record:
- Team Fortress 2
- Combat Arms
- Euro Truck Simulator 2 / American Truck Simulator

These 3 Games Should run fine on the GTX 1050 ti on High or Ultra Settings.

My Question comes with the CPU. Is the i5-7300HQ Capable of Offering Streaming Quality Performance? or will the Hyper-Threading of the i7-7700HQ Actually help?

My Streaming and Recording Target is 720p @ 30-60 FPS using OBS.
For Video Editing, I use AVS Video Editor.

Thanks!
