His solution is the only one. SSE3 is a CPU instruction set. If his CPU doesn't support it then there is nothing more to do than replace it with a newer CPU.
EDIT: Meant SSSE3. I'm going to guess that his friend has an AMD Phenom, which doesn't support it.

The issue is that you're streaming at 144 fps in OBS. That is way too many frames for it to render. I'd recommend dropping it down to 60fps. It won't impact your game's framerate, only the stream's. Youtube and Twitch don't even support anything over 60 fps (as far as I'm aware) so the viewers won't even notice.

Actually we don't. Taiwan is considered separate for trade, even though the US technically doesn't officially recognize it as a country. However trade from Taiwan will still be impacted since most of their exports are intermediary (roughly 78% according to the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research) , meaning that they ship components out to another country (mainly China) where they are then assembled. 

TL;DR Yes these cards will be affected by tariffs. Whether that price will be passed onto the consumer or if the AIB partners will absorb it is yet to be seen.

AMVA+ is a type of VA panel. It provides better contrast and blacks than most IPS , but generally has both a smaller viewing angle than IPS, and a higher response time.
 
As far as quality goes for the monitor: the panel is very good supporting full 10 bit color so you can view HDR content on it. It also has fantastic color replication with 100% srgb and 75% Adobe RGB. The response time varies but the minimum is 4ms and average is 12ms on this monitor.

I'd honestly recommend getting an Audio interface like the Focusrite scarlet solo or the BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UM2. They will give you the phantom power you  need and also provide a proper interface for the xlr mic. I do not recommend using an XLR to 3.5mm adapter unless absolutely necessary.

You haven't told us the games but I'm going to guess it's the CPU. To know for sure, run something like HWMonitor in the background while streaming and see what's hitting 100%.

Correct, the organization that controls them does not sell at the retail level. Instead you must go through a registrar (like GoDaddy, 1&1 Internet, etc.) in order to buy a domain. It sucks and really shouldn't be that way, but it is what it is.

And it would most likely communicate with the CPU via PCI anyways making it kind of unnecessary.
