Hey dudes quick question. I recently started twitch streaming and I think my cpu is bottlenecking my stream so to speak. I can run games like Skyrim and Fallout4 on high settings 60fps but when I try to stream them it is very laggy on the consumers end. I have good internet and don’t agree with my friend who says it’s a latency issue. I currently own a hp-223w with an i3-4130 in it and my gpu is a gtx 1050ti. I can easily afford either the i5-4670 or the i7-4770. Which one out of the 2 would be sufficient enough to stop the laggy stream?

You are correct the mobo is locked but it allows up to the i7-4770. So if that’s the best route I’ll buy right now. Just built a decent viewer base and I don’t wanna lose there attention before I build my official system in March.
