CPU 100% while streaming/recording

[kmunroe478]

Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me if my computer is compatible to upgrade from the intel core i5 7th gen to the intel core i7 7th gen. Just looking to get more output. I am a gamer, streamer/recorder and lately with the computer games I have been playing, my CPU has been running around 100% meaning nothing is working properly. Computer works great for gaming alone but if i try to stream or record while playing computer games then that's when my CPU is around 100%. Also does anyone have an other solutions?
Thank you for any help you can provide!

You should be able to drop a 7700K or similar in there. Streaming is pretty CPU demanding.

You could also lower your resolution/quality/fps of the stream if you need a short term solution.
