Why would you tell someone who has a GTX 1060 already to get a RX 480?

Basic 1080p 60hz

If you only care about 60hz 1080p then your setup right now is fine. Zero reason to upgrade. But to answer your question a 6700k or 7700k would benefit streaming.

I was thinking about upgrading the CPU first then the Video card, like so; https://www.pccasegear.com/wish_lists/685327

Those are terrible prices and for 1080p 60hz gaming there is zero reason for you to get those. But hey, it's your money not mine.

The CPU seems fine for what you're doing. But if you really need to upgrade then get the 6700K. 1060 is fine for 1080p/60. Maybe in the future you can upgrade your monitor and GPU together.

Ill agree, the AU pricing is pretty f*cked up

I'd say upgrade monitors before anything

Yeah, I'd like to upgrade to a 144hz now that you mention it. I'm currently running a BenQ RL2455.

Out of the 2 the GPU, a skylake i5 will be fine for a few years yet. If you stayed with intel the only advantage in the normal i3/i5/i7 setup would be an i7. Which might have slightly higher clock speeds and hyper threading.

you're all set...your next upgrade should be a new monitor...or a fancy case with lighting/tempered glass...some fancy fans and some cable extensions.
