I have an AMD Phenom II X6 (6 Cores) with 8GB of RAM and a pretty high end graphics card. When streaming games the CPU basically runs at 100%. Does anyone know how the i7 does in similar situations. I am thinking of swapping out my motherboard and CPU to get an Intel.

For non-gaming streaming I have no problem with my setup at all.

So, am I going to the PC parts store, or what?
