What budget are you considering? Which platform are you thinking about? I’m sorry, you haven’t provided much detail.

In most scenarios (such as yours), I’d receive a R5 3600. It can manage everything you need without costing too much. A great all-rounder CPU today.

She’s okay with AMD or Intel options, just avoid the 9900k and go for something more expensive. A RTX 2060 or 2070 would be great for her streaming. (I think AMD is better...) Thanks!

3600 is the best pick, will handle all tasks fine. If they can afford it, pick up a 3700x or even better, wait for Zen3. ?

What about the budget? A 3600/10600k works well here, especially for gaming and some multi-threaded jobs. They handle those tasks nicely. If you're using an Intel CPU, you might want to skip locked chips and B and H series boards—it's pricier but still sufficient. Alternatively, you could wait for Zen 3 and see what it brings.

Just keep it in mind, it's all my take. *(run they take kids like me) I told her to hold off, but she said* — and I’m quoting “amd hasn’t even announced a release date, so… no thanks.” — I’m thinking 3600 then grab the better GPU *(2070 super).

It will function perfectly. The 10600k and this unit will handle the task.
