You could use this motherboard instead if you wanna save a couple of big ones as back when I created my list, it was literally the cheapest x2xx ATX motherboard I could find
I mean with that standard non-K 7700, you won't be overclocking so I guess you can just save a little bit of money.
Oooor you could build a proper pc capable of smooth gameplay rather than get high frame rates that will drop the moment you start streaming.
Stuttering in streaming is caused by lack of CPU power.
What you need to stream is a higher end i7 (6700k/7700k) along with pretty much any other components you want.
CSGO runs on potatoes so a gtx 1060/1070 is perfectly fine and capable.
1060 will probably give you like 300 fps as it is but you shouldn't be streaming at anywhere near that because the higher the number, the more you'll feel sudden FPS drops.
When I used to stream I streamed at 60fps and used the software to lock game fps at 80fps.
In most cases (it definitely will in csgo) this will result in your system not having too much stress on it and as such, run games smoother.
Also keep in mind that different streaming software will be less or more demanding.
OBS is quite a good software that is very customizable and also free.
I hear you can stream through shadowplay or something like that now too? Might be worth looking into because shadowplay barely touches performance (2-3 fps drop)
