I5 8600k unlocked has 6 core 6 threads, cache 9mb

More threads are important in gaming while streaming. If only gaming is concerned, 8600k is definitely better. However, when it comes to streaming at the same time, 1600 has more threads to utilize. 8400 will drop more frames than 1600. Cache is fastest storage CPU can use, faster than ram. In your case, I will suggest 1600 due to toss up in gaming while streaming but much cheaper cost. 8600k needs good cooler and good mb to overclock. 1600 has good enough stock cooler and good B350 motherboard is relatively cheap.

To answer this easily is it comes down to price. 8600k is a lot more expensive then a ryzen 1600 or 1600k. Motherboards are also not that expensive. Only thing to be aware of is make sure you get ram that's qvl listed ( I didn't and I just got my situation rectified) this all being said if you want to game hard and stream hard from your desktop then definitely go ryzen. If you want to get closer to 8600k get the 1600x and buy a cheap hyper evo air cooler. Allowing you to slightly over clock without temperature issues :) just food for thought.

Just to play devil's advocate if money's not an issue you can try threadripper or an i7 8700k :)
