Question / Help CPU Question

Hello,

I am currently looking into upgrading my CPU, and I have been wondering on what would be the best upgrade for it. I decided to post this question here because other people might have the question in the future. My current stream setup is this:

  • CPU: i5-2500k @ 4.4
  • GPU: GTX 770
  • RAM: 8GB @ 1866
  • Capturing Unit: X-Capture-1
  • Bitrate: 2,000
  • FPS: 60
  • Resolution: 720p
  • CBR: On
  • Enable CBR Padding: On
  • Filter: Lanczos
  • x264 CPU Preset: Fast
Now, the setup is working really well for console capturing, but I have a difficult time capturing my computer games. To be more specific, I have a difficult time capturing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with the stream setup listed above. I have been looking into other CPU options, but I am not sure which one to get. My current choices are:
  • i7-4790k (4 Cores)
  • i7-4930k (6 Cores)
  • i7-5000+ Series (Not out yet)
I have done a bit of research on this topic, but I am having a hard time deciding on which one to purchase. If someone can recommend me a motherboard to go alongside the processor, it would help me quite a bit.

Edit: It appears that I got no response for my topic. I suppose that's fine. It must be because the question is already answered somewhere else. I will look around for more information regarding my question.
