Definitely your CPU. i3's aren't really meant for multithreaded tasks like gaming and streaming together. You can upgrade an an i7-6700/7700 and that should give you a considerable performance boost. If you want to go for a new build, some kind of Ryzen system would do you good.

My Build, v2.1 --- CPU: i7-8700K @ 5.2GHz/1.288v || MoBo: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming || RAM: 4x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 2666 14-14-14-33 || Cooler: Custom Loop || GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Black, on water || PSU: EVGA G2 850W || Case: Corsair 450D || SSD: 850 Evo 250GB, Intel 660p 2TB || Storage: WD Blue 2TB || G502 & Glorious PCGR Fully Custom 80% Keyboard || MX34VQ, PG278Q, PB278Q

Audio --- Headphones: Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX || Amp: Schiit Audio Magni 3 || DAC: Schiit Audio Modi 3 || Mic: Blue Yeti

 

[Under Construction]

 

My Truck --- 2002 F-350 7.3 Powerstroke || 6-speed

My Car --- 2006 Mustang GT || 5-speed || BBK LTs, O/R X, MBRP Cat-back || BBK Lowering Springs, LCAs || 2007 GT500 wheels w/ 245s/285s

 

The Experiment --- CPU: i5-3570K @ 4.0 GHz || MoBo: Asus P8Z77-V LK || RAM: 16GB Corsair 1600 4x4 || Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo || GPUs: Asus GTX 750 Ti, || PSU: Corsair TX750M Gold || Case: Thermaltake Core G21 TG || SSD: 840 Pro 128GB || HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB

 

R.I.P. Asus X99-A motherboard, April 2016 - October 2018, may you rest in peace. 5820K, if I ever buy you a new board, it'll be a good one.

for gaming a 2600 would make more sense, as the per core performance is higher

that will be hard... but i'm not that into streaming. I would just play around a bit with your bitrate and everything and see where you can find the right balance

good thing to know, so to achieve this I only need to consider getting a better cpu or this is something that relates to ram and graphic

it relates to everything. you can stream from a gpu, or from a cpu, but i have no idea how good it will do when you record AND stream at the same time.

hi, I know this thread is quite old. I'm going to buy the system build you recommended, since now there are new ryzens, do you recommend me to buy the new ryzen 5 3600 instead of ryzen 5 2600 and also are there any better option in the build parts since new components released and price changes

Depends on the price and your budget. The 3600 is definitely better than 2600, but i wouldn't pay double for it.
