Currently I have this for my gaming PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Y3btg

 

Basically 5820k, 16gb ddr4 ram, 1080ti EVGA hybrid (AIO watercooled)

 

My question is: will I need a separate streaming PC if I want to game and stream on twitch simultaneously at 1080p 60fps?

 

I want a perfect experience for both myself and my viewers but I havent set anything up yet. I also want a webcam with OBS running as well. Can my rig do all of this or would a separate streaming PC be more ideal? If I were to do that I would move my 5820k to the streaming PC and get a more gaming centric unlocked gaming CPU for my gaming build. I'm ok with spending the money but only if it's necessary as I would rather spend that money on Vive Pro if I don't need an additional streaming PC, so I need some guidance here.

Current rig will be fine for doing both. 

My h110i cooler for my 5820k is now 3yrs old. Should I look to swap that out? I always get nervous about it running out of water at some point. It hits 60°C max during long gaming sessions, I haven't pushed it with transcoding or anything before though. Does that seem normal?

It's a closed loop so it won't run out of water unless it leaks it out :P

 

But a 3 year old water cooler is something I'd personally change, but they have something like a 5 year warranty.

I'm thinking about switching to air cooling on it. If I'm going to game/stream though, perhaps invest in another AIO?
