im looking into a new computer and was wondering ehich one would handle dolphin better while streaming.

ive heard the i5 is better but would it run out of cores to run the stream on as well. would love to max settings out if possible.

thanks

Tell which CPU models you had in mind exactly. The i5 brand cover a lot of processors. Give us a specific model you might be interested in. Also tell us which games you want to play. Lastly, give us a specific GPU if you're interested in graphical quality.

generally last time i checked every gen3 i5 is more powerful in all emulation than AMD processors. its just a fact.

But as shonumi said it does covers alot of processors. are we talking laptop i5s or Desktop i5s. low power or beefy ones like 3570k.

But you wont have any problems streaming if u get a i5-3570k and overclock it.

i have my currently at 4.5ghz and i can stream Windwaker without any slowdowns. Hell i could probably stream 4 player brawl without slowdowns on the emulator. (Luckly i have headroom up to 5ghz on my ivy bridge i5 ^_^ )

i only got a 5770 so i have to have it at like 1.5-2x res when im streaming or playing 4player brawl.

but please tell us what kind of i5 you are looking into and we can help out more.

I'm thinking the 3550 maybe the 3570. What mobo and gfx card would you guys recommend. I'm looking for a budget build type stuff that will still rock.

Without the "k" behind -> No overclocking -> Game Over
Budget : Asrock Z77 Pro 3 or 4 + i5 3450 -> Overclock to 3.9GHz which is faster and cheaper than both 3550 & 3570 at stock speed

Recommend : Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 + i5 3570k -> Overclock 4.2-4.4GHz which is strong enough for those demanding games
Note : Only Asrock Z77 mobo can overclock no "k" CPU

There is no question that the i5 will win by a mile.
