Which CPU to stream?

I want to play games and at the same time on the same PC via OBS (without capture card)

stream live on Twitch.

Unfortunately, I have only real low end alternatives which are as follows:

1st option

ASRock N68C-GS FX motherboard

AMD FX 8120 CPU 8 cores

8GB Crucial 1600 DDR3 RAM

500 GB HDD

R9 280 graphics card

2nd option

Gigabyte GA-H81M-S1 motherboard

Intel i5 4460 CPU 4 cores

8GB Crucial 1600 DDR3 RAM

500gb HDD

R9 280 graphics card

Both with:

Power LC8750II V2.3 Prophecy 2 power supply

Fan is an Arctic Freezer Xtreme that fits on both the 1150 and AM3+ sockets.

Now I wonder if the 4 cores of the newer I5's pack more than the 8 of AMD's

Does someone have opinions, or maybe experience?

The AMD is a 4 core with 8 threads, which can distribute the load better through its 8 threads.

The Intel 4 Kerner has a better game management.

Both, however, are hardly suitable for your project because the performance will go into the basement (which should already be the case when playing). Now it depends on what you want to play, SIMS 4 or CS; GO could still run with ach and noise satisfactory if the resolution and the details are kept low.

In addition, you also have very marginal RAM.

I would take distance from your project with such bad hardware.

Okay, so i5 is better for gaming and streaming alone?

Achso, and I still have a FX 4300 rum lie, what about it with the? Even if he has as well, only "4 cores?

The 4300 has 2 cores and 4 threads.

… For streaming alone, it does not matter which one you take, whether Intel or AMD… To play the Intel.

This statement with Intel = Gaming and AMD = Streming is something of outdated the new Ryzencpus offers almost identical gaming performance so it is completely superfluous to recommend the whole cpus from Intel.

The FS explicitly deals with FX CPUs and Intel 4Gen.

So what's the matter with Ryzen? That was not the question!

But if it makes you happy, if it comes in the area of new CPUs, I would recommend Ryzen.

The 4300 has 2 cores with HPT and is not suitable for your project

Which CPU to stream?

From Ryzen 7 2700 (better from R7 3000)

8GB Crucial 1600 DDR3 RAM

Strangle… Your RAM is garbage.
Today, only 3000 are installed if you do it right.

I want to play games and at the same time on the same PC via OBS (without capture card)

Then you will not get around an AM4 setup with Ryzen 7.
In addition, you need an upload of at least 6 Mbit (better 10+) to be able to stream clever in quality.

Power LC8750II V2.3 Prophecy 2

WHAT FOR? What do you want with a 750 W PSU.
You have neither in option 1 nor in 2 even just approach something that 500 W would be enough.

Conclusion: Neither Option 1 nor 2 are to be used.
For you that means: Complete upgrade from the ground up on AM4.
We do not need to talk about INTEL, because you have to dig much deeper into your pocket.
