this version of i5 is a new 10th Generation and it have unlocked potential for overclocking, with overclock it can beat most of 9th gen i7 and its only 2% weaker than i9-9900k. Of course I could get 10th gen i7 but that would require a lot more money and I had only 1700$ to spend. Overall I think it should be fine for streaming. I've checked the FPS test on YouTube and this setup seems to be really strong.
