I'm really stuck and honestly I don't know what to do when it comes to updating my build. I'm very proud of my system (Specs in bio), but ill cut to the chase, I really want to stream, like a lot, but it's really hard to do that on a 1060 6gb and a 7700k. If i upgrade the processor Ill need a new motherboard, or I could use that money to upgrade the GPU, but I fear I would bottleneck the 7700k if I get a 2080 for example. I've pondered building an entire new system, but than I would have a second pc collecting dust. Again all I want to do is stream but I feel like I'm trapped in a corner when it comes to upgrades. I need idea please, thanks.

Honestly speaking, sell that 7700k nd the mobo. If u r lucky, u might get around $250-300 for that cpu + gpu. I sold my 6700 + mobo  + 8gb ram fr $280 last month.

Purchase a ryzen 2 3600. It'll be sold for something around $200. Purchase a b550 mobo. And you should be good fr streaming.
