Console gamer here. I want to get into PC gaming as well as streaming console games such as Fortnite etc. Was looking at an Ryzen 5 1600x because i heard AMD is better than intel if i want to do more than just gaming. Was also looking at an RX 550 4gb VRAM, it seems to be decent performance for a very cheap and i’m not trying to spend $1000 for a graphics card due to the mining issue happening. My question is will this be a good setup for streaming console games 1080p at least 30fps on twitch? any recommended upgrades i should do if i want to try streaming pc games as well? Kind of on a budget so i won’t be able to upgrade anything too much but i will be able to soon. Thanks!!

I would recommend the Ryzen 1600 CPU, because it os not that much slower than the X model, and you get a cooler with it, and on the X you don't. Instead you can use the money you saved from that to get a better GPU
