minimize the tabs in the browser to cut out bandwidth use? you seem ignorant to how some of this works to be honest. somethings require details to be sure of, we don't have those details (what games?), but others you should be able to think through before giving advice.
we don't know what games he's playing. lets say some games would run better having 8 dedicated cores. great, the game is running optimally with a 5800x. now add streaming. the game does not play exactly the same. so you can't just say 5800x is more than enough for your use-case.. what is his use case? what level of performance does he want? what kind of wiggle room is he looking for, does his future 3080 effect your decision at all?
Apparently this has changed at some point in the past. I was unaware of it because I have been doing this for well....a long ass time.
And yes I can say 5800x is more than enough.
From what the OP has said, I gather he does mainly gaming + streaming. In this case I can say easily that a 5800x is plenty of performance.
