Hello everybody,

I am about to build my first Gaming PC in a few months I've already put together some parts, featuring the I5 7600k. Today i got told that a AMD Ryzen 1600 or even Ryzen 1500x is way better for streaming since it has more cores and threads. Plus its cheaper since I am on a budget.

I have been watching benchmarks and comparisons, but this didn't help me enough to find out what CPU is the best for me.

The games I'm about to stream are mostly League of Legends and Overwatch. While not streaming I would play either those games aswell or games like Rust or GTA V

Thanks in advance

Thank you for your quick answer, I think i'll take the 1600 then

but why isn't I5 good enough? Is it because the low amount of threads?
keep in mind Overwatch and League of Legends are not that powerful,
