Hey guys!
I want to make my PC capable of streaming for the near future.
Only for TF2. As cheap as possible. >thuglife of a student :3
My current build:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965BE @4Ghz
Motherboard: Asus M5A99X EVO AMD 990X AMD AM3+ socket :(
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6970
Memory: 8GB DDR3-1333 Corsair blabla
Power Supply: 650 W Corsair TX Series 80+
etc. etc.
Obviously my CPU needs a huge upgrade. But what is my best bet?
I want to have at least 130fps on midfights while streaming. What is the cheapest possibility to get there?
Also is my CPU the only part I need to upgrade to get those fps?
I already have an AMD AM3+ socket motherboard... But the recent generations of AMD CPUs seem to be very bad compared to Intel.
How about the AMD FX-8350???
Is it really that bad? It seems shit with single thread performance, but when streaming it isn't really a single thread performance anymore or am I wrong?
Or is it impossible to stick to AMD at the moment and I need to buy a new motherboard + Intel CPU? Which one would you suggest then?
As said above, I only want to stream TF2 and don't need good performance in any other games...
I would really appreciate some suggestions of which parts I should get and why! <3
cheers
