i am coming from a 4790k rig that was pretty decent, and am upgrading now. I I plan on being able to stream at at least 1080p60 on medium preset 4000 bitrate!while staying under 70% cpu load. My 4790k OCed can almost do that, but fails and drops frames at 70 plus percent usage. I mostly stream from console, and when I do PC game, it’s usually battlegrounds at 1080p60. Is the 8600k not enough and I need an 8700k?
