You've got a great setup with your Ryzen 7 3700X and i7-8600K. Both are strong choices for an HTPC. The 3700X offers better efficiency, while the i7-8600K provides more raw power. Pick based on your priorities—performance or energy savings. Either way, you're making smart moves by upgrading!

Offer both items and purchase at a discount, similar to getting a good Ryzen APU deal.

Irrelevant whether it's an 8700k or i7, keep that one for your main gaming PC and boost the streamer to 3600x.

The Ryzen 5 stays cooler unless you overclock it too much

Choose one option: place a drop in the 3600x or sell both. Intel isn't worth it, lol.
