What components for a recording PC?

[TeamRespawn]

I'm looking into upgrading my current PC to be for specifically recording. It has an old AMD A10 processor in it, so probably will replace both the motherboard and CPU. Which ones will be best for recording and livestreaming? My capture card is the elgato.

Thanks!

if you have the extra money to spend, the i7 5820k is a amazing 6 core cpu with hyperthreading that is a great balance between performance and cost. more cores than a quad core 4790k or 6700k, but stronger single threaded performance of the more expensive eight core 5960x. cheaper too. the x99 motherboard might be a little more expensive than a Z170 model for the skylake cpus, but it's worth it imo.
