Hi I was looking for advice on what PC part would be the most helpful to upgrade, or upgrade First.

 

I was just surprised by how much I had to lower my settings to get smooth 60 fps in-game at 2k and to get smooth 60 fps at 720p on stream.

 

But anyway, yes any help would be appreciated. Streaming at 720p/60fps/3500 bitrate is what I want and can do with low enough in-game settings. But I would like to be able to have my in-game settings at atleast medium settings, 60fps constant so the game doesnt look meh for the viewers. 

 

Dont worry about cost. Just which part should be upgraded and what you recomend it upgraded to for medium settings and 60fps in-game with 720p/60fps/3500 bitrate streaming

If I Need other things upgraded met me know.

 

My Specs:

CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 1600X 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) ((Not sure if I have this on Turbo))

 

Motherboard: MSI PERFORMANCE GAMING B350 GAMING PLUS AM4

 

GPU: ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1070 STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING 8GB (in OC mode using GPU Tweak 2)

 

RAM: Team Elite Plus 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400

 

PSU: CORSAIR HXi Series HX850i 850W 80 PLUS PLATINUM

 

Upload Speed: 10-11 MB upload

 

Thank you!

Depending on if the game is GPU dependent or GPU dependent you may need to switch between nvenc and CPU encoding.
