Ryzen CPU Question

[diamondandy]

I've read a few articles about the Ryzen in regards to benchmarking and seen a LTT video which had the Ryzen streaming LoL, but the information I wanted to know hasn't been posted (That I've seen).

So I want to make a dedicated PC with a Ryzen CPU driving it. I'll have an Elgato HD60 Pro (Internal card) for capturing the gameplay from my other PC so I don't need to worry about using the Ryzen for anything except encoding the stream.

I was wondering if the 1700 would be enough to encode at Medium preset in OBS at 1080p @60fps.

If not, could someone please point me in the right direction in regards to CPU.

Thanks in advance.

It's a separate PC, I am currently using an old AMD which struggles at times (6 core, 1090T I believe it is). Won't stream at 1080p @ 60fps, which is what I'm aiming for eventually.

Thanks for the replies, looks like I'll be waiting around for the R5's then.
