Been toying with the idea of building a second pc for game capture/streaming. My question is, would it be better to swap my R5 3600 for a 3900 and try that route, or build a second rig with my spare R7 1700? Cost would be about the same, if not a little more for the second pc. Not sure if this will matter, but my gpu is an RTX 2070.

can't you just use nvenc for streaming?

I believe so but I messed with several different settings trying to get clean playback of my gameplay with my recordings and it's always laggy and/or choppy looking. The visual quality isn't too good. Plus my system does take a slight performance beating while recording. I'm just trying to alleviate that and get my recording quality up to snuff, if that makes sense?
