So right now I have a pc with a 6600k, and lets say for whatever reason I now have a second pc with a 6800k. Would I want to game on the old pc with the 6600k and use the 6800k to be a dedicated streaming pc? What if the new pc had a better graphics card in it? Should I just put the better gpu with the worse cpu and game on that, while streaming off the better cpu with the worse gpu?
Strange question I know but Ive been streaming recently and it got me thinking about how big time streamers usually use two boxes, and I was wondering what the specs of either would be. Like if they started off with an average system and as they got better and made more money they would by a second better computer to be their main computer and now use their old pc to stream. It just seems silly to either stream off a worse cpu, or game off a worse cpu. Im rambling now, but hopefully you get my question.
 
Solution
It would purely come down to whatever processor runs the games they plan to stream best.
If the 6600k gives higher FPS, then let the 6800k do the streaming, or vice versa.
