Question / Help Looking for an AMD CPU replacement

[doubleyouww]

Hi,

I currently need an amd cpu for streaming, because my amd 6100 just broke down - I have a budget of 320€ atm.
Either I fit an i7+motherboard into that budget or I'll go with another amd for now.

thanks in advance.

intel all the way if you want to stream. AMD is not good enough for streaming

An i7 6700k and a skylake compatible motherboard will be solid for streaming

an 8320 or greater is just fine for streaming, otherwise go for an i5 or even a i7 if you plan to get an intel board, research as much as you can before forking any money out, and you'll be fine!

Haswell/Skylake i5 outperforms an 8350 by far when it comes to Gaming Performance and Real time Encoding (Streaming)

Since you already have DDR3 RAM you can only reuse those with Haswell Generation. Please for god sake, noone answer but Skylake supports DDR3, yes it does but only Low Voltage (1.35V) normal DDR3 runs with 1.5V which can damage the Voltage Controller over a longer period of time.

Thats what an i7 6700 costs right now + a really cheap Motherboard would probably be another ~65€

Heres what I came up with that gets as close as possible to i7 Performance for Encoding and still is affordable.
