You can just upgrade the CPU and GPU, everything else about it is still perfectly fine for today.

Wait until you have enough money for the entire rig, then ask again and buy everything at once. Whatever planning you do now will be irrelevant by then.

you're really pairing a 6650XT with a garbage, low-wattage PSU?

You'll need a BIOS update, but otherwise yes.

The NZXT C gold units use the GX platform.

You realise that's the 80+ gold C850, right? That's a seasonic focus plus.

Yes, just for NVENC. AMD's encoder still takes quite a performance hit when streaming IIRC.

5800X3D is still on par for gaming, but a 3080 or 4070Ti may be better for streaming if it doesn't cost much more than the 6950XT.

You'll be fine.
