Cpu for streaming and gaming

[Jay_57]

Hi all I’m looking to get a new cpu. I stream on twitch,play a lot of aaa games and my computer is constantly under load with all the software and programs open my computer can’t handle it. I’m thinking of going for 6 core 12 thread processor

Any help would be great

He didn't state a budget nor current platform, so he gets a stupid answer.

entry level: Threadripper 3990X

People also ask​

Is Threadripper 3990X good for gaming?
The 3990X is mostly used for video production, rendering, CAD software's, and the like. Its high core count and thread count make it a good CPU for multitasking, but for gaming it is not ideal.

Pretty much what I've got? What are you running? As I don't overload, your next jump would be 5600x.

I've got a 2600 now, but a 30% increase would be gotten from a 5600x

You'd rather want a capture card, offload the work to another weaker machine and have that handle the upload.
So capture card hooked up to a cheap machine that uploads it: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-dual-pc-stream

Which make & model MB?

I would suggest going 8core/16thread and higher for your use case.

I currently have the Msi B450tomahawk in my system aswell as a spare Intel mb I think it’s the lga1151 socket can’t remember but amd is that the way to go?

Great buy on that B450 tomahawk! I would just upgrade the CPU, your R8k budget will get you the new Ryzen 7 5800X with 8cores/16threads. R10k will get you the 12core/24thread Ryzen 9 5900X.

Forget about that intel MB, it does not support anything newer than 8/9th gen.
