I wanted to get 5700 xt but I read that NVENC is just too good for streaming.

Jumping from AMD to Nvidia for streaming sake was the best thing I did. Huge improvement. Defiantly stick with the 2070.

From what I can see now, it is very solid for streaming, well, depends on what you are going to play, esport game or 3A like tomb rider... So, I streamed CSGO and LOL. And played Witcher 3, far cry

 

My hardware info:

i7-8750H

GTX 1070 Max-q

ddr4-2666 16gb

512gb ssd

 

FYI, just suggestions, if you are really aiming for best streaming performance in even in something like Star Citizen, I do suggest you go for an extra video card for dedicated encoder, even 750ti would be enough, and go for 32gb ram. But still, I think it's good enough already,

amd has their own equivalent to nvenc if im not wrong

you don't need x570 for 3600

power supply you chose is ass, refer to psu tier list to check psu quality, don't decide on psu based on it's 80+ rating

Yup, but the card you're recommending has compatibility issues with 3rd gen ryzen, all MSI b450 as far as I know

So maybe another brand? I want a mobo with decent VRM heatsinks (dont care for pcie 4)
Thanks in advance.

most, if not all msi b450 have option to do bios flashback, you can update bios without cpu

you can wait for b450 tomahawk max if you want out of the box compatibility, not sure when its released

3600x is not worth the markup over 3600

b450 is sufficient, no need for beefy x570

power supply isnt that good, corsair cx550m is a better choice
