I rebuilt my computer a year ago, running a GTX 970 and I'm realizing that my AMD A10-6800K APU is a bottleneck. I want to invest in streaming more often, recently read about the Ryzen 1600x and that it's great for streaming. I also work with Maya and do animation so I need something versatile, a happy medium between gaming and being a work CPU. I'm trying to budget, I understand getting a Ryzen 1600x is 230 bucks and then a decent motherboard would put it up to 350+ total. I'd like to stick around 300 or close to.
I'm not set on the Ryzen, I assume there are other, less pricey options for a gaming/workstation PC. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks for reading.
