A good cpu setup for streaming?

thing is the xeon is the same price and clock as the i5 so it kind of defeats the purpose of getting an i5.

I think I may get the 4790k for quicksync. for most games I will have it set default to x264 but for games such as gta5 and othe rcpu hungry games quicksync seems to really help out with the fps

If it were me, I'd keep it simple and just go with the consumer chip (the i7). It's just streaming, no need to stress yourself out over it. =/
