So im planning on building a streaming pc with gtx 1080ti in mind and budget.
For processor im thinking between i5 8600 or ryzen 5 2600.
Both are similarly priced in my country but im confused whether to get the intel cpu for better gaming performance or the amd for better streaming performance .
I stream with streamlabs obs and i can choose gpu for streaming but im not sure.
Thanks
Edit: im on a strict budget

The Ryzen would be better for streaming. If you're new to streaming and haven't tried it, and/or only stream a small percentage of the games you play, make sure it's something you want to commit to. Otherwise you're just going to end up with a CPU that doesn't handle gaming without streaming as well, with far more FPS fluctuation in some games.

Also, if you want max stream quality using 6000 stream bitrate, you need at least a consistent 12Mb upload speed.
