I use my PC for some AAA gaming + streaming and gaming Overwatch on the same PC. About 50/50 for purely gaming vs streaming.
Current Specs:
CPU Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory Corsair XMS3 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ Video Card
Monitor Dell S2716DG 27.0" 2560x1440 144Hz Monitor
I'm Currently considering 2 options:
Option 1: Sell my i5 4690k, buy a second hand i7 4790k for about $75 US or $100 Canadian more. Keep the rest of the components.
Option 2: Sell my CPU, Mobo and RAM and upgrade to brand new i7 6700k/7700k or Ryzen R7 1700 with 16GB DDR4 and new motherboard. Cost at least $150 US or $200 Canadian. Cost based on my estimate on the difference between buying new minus $ recoup'd from selling the old.
Currently streaming @720p 30 FPS in Overwatch fine after a lot of settings tweak, but I noticed the CPU usage has crept up since the game first came out.
I'm Still weighing my options/ waiting for deals. I'm not in a big rush to upgrade today.
Appreciate the feedbacks!
