I had a “goal” in mind - it would be to improve streaming performance. I picked up streaming a little bit, nothing crazy and no real aspirations, but I heard more cores could help that.

What issues are you actually having? I have your setup but with a 8700k and have zero issues with frames or streaming. The only thing I could think of is my internet is fiber.

Got a busy day ahead of me today...

1. Picking up 16gb DDR4 ram, GTX 1070, Inwin 303c case, and 25 Corsair case fans (6 rgb with rgb controller, 6 red fans, and then the rest are SP120 or AP120s) for $350

2. Trading the DDR4 ram above for a complete build (FX 8350, 16gb ram, gtx 660, corsair TX750)

3. Finally picking up the IO shield and wifi antennas for my itx mobo I bought with the 8400

I have a problem guys

I'm not having that big of an issue with performance on my gaming setup when I stream. I probably drop 15-25 frames depending on the game. which isn't a big deal to me.

My intentions with the chip upgrade would be to really be more for my second pc. Putting a much newer processor in that one, and in turn putting the 8700k in my gaming pc. I see it as a win/win for both computers, but I'm not an expert so I didn't know if it was feasible.

To be 100% honest - I've found some extra money that I'm willing to blow on my setup and a new processor is really the only thing in my budget without going overboard.

If upgrading a 7700k to 8600k wasn't worth having to switch the mobos out I would just find something else to do with the said money I want to spend on it.
