Some Questions About Streaming

I recently looked into streaming on Twitch TV and am quite interested in starting soon. So here are some questions I have, feel free to give your opinions, suggestions, whatever can help me out, thanks :)

 

PC Specs

MSI Z170A Gaming M5 Motherboard

16GB DDR4 TridentZ RAM @ 2800MHz

EVGA 800 Watt PSU

Intel i7 6700K @ 4.2 GHz

ASUS Strix GTX 970

 

  1. Would I survive streaming games like CSGO or Rocket League on a single PC and streaming on that same PC? (My specs above)
  2. How fast of an internet connection is recommended for streaming HD gameplay? Mine is about 8-10 Mb/s
  3. I only have 1 monitor, does getting a second monitor really improve my flexibility while streaming (is it worth getting a second one)? I figured I could just use my phone to read the chat...

For 3. another monitor would help a little as you can check your chat and see whats going on. Your PC should be fine.

1. Probably

2. That seems fine

3. You should get a second monitor so you can have your game open on one monitor, and chat, Skype, Teamspeak etc open on the other.

I streamed and gamed in my i3 with a 5.5Mb upload speed.

A 2nd monitor is very helpful for streaming and really, a second monitor is good for everything.

You could stream and game GTA V on a 6700k.

I believe you can stream to twitch using obs studio and configure obs to use the shadowplay feature for your 970 which would probably make it even easier on your system.
