Raspberry pi question

Was sitting in my computer science class one day and I had a idea. What if for setting up a 2 pc streaming setup the pc that would do the encoding and uploading to the streaming platform( ex. Twitch or YouTube) was a raspberry pi running a linux distro with something like OBS and using nvenc for transmitting the the stream from the gaming pc 

 

I don't know a whole lot but I thought this might be a cheap alternative but I'm open to criticism and suggestions. I also think this would be a cool Ltt video too.

I don't know anything about streaming in the first place, but a RasPi doing the encoding sounds like 1 frame a second to me. Can be utterly wrong though.

I don't think that the RPi would be suitable for this, as the encoding portion is CPU reliant and i doubt that a Pi would have enough oomph unfortunately...

I will only ever answer to the best of my ability - there is absolutely no promises that I will be correct. Or helpful. At all.
