I have decided to upgrade my PC, my current processor is i3 3220. It handles gaming just fine(maybe not much fine) but while recording gameplay or online gaming, it hits 100% cpu usage and causes FPS drops. It probably happens because it only has 2 cores so I have decided to upgrade to latest i5 7500 or i7 7700 to get more cores(i5 7500 is preferred due to low budget). My question is that will 4 cores be enough for gaming and recording as well as editing videos? Which processor will be more future proof? Can I also stream my gameplay on i5 7500? Or FPS drops while recording may also be caused due to recording on hard disk and not ssd?
