Hi to all,

I have a question about the setup that I should get. My goal is to play and stream, and I'm going to upgrade to hardware, specifically CPU and Board. My request for help is to know which CPU I should buy for this purpose, i5 8600K or Ryzen 1700.

For what I researched, the i5 is faster (more FPS), however the Ryzen has more cores and according to the opinions this is the best investment for the future, considering that the games are increasingly outgoing for the use of multicores.

Can you give me your opinion sff.

Very grateful to all.

Keep up the great work.

For streaming while gaming? coffee lake I5 will lose due to it only has 6 cores 6 threads, Ryzen 1600 has 6 cores and 12 threads! Ryzen 1700 is the way to go and last longer. Ryzen is the first gen AM4 socket unlike coffee lake is near the end of that socket :) For MB, B350 MSI gaming pro carbon is the only good choice for B350 chipset due to VRAM setup. Any X370 MB is good as well.
