So i'm stuck between upgrading my cpu or gpu for my next pc upgrade. Me and my friends have been streaming and making content the past few months. Happy to say its time to upgrade to give my audience a better experience. Now I stream usually on the weekends and record game play during the weekdays. My current build is i5 4690k w/ Gtx 1050. I plan on upgrading both. Now my dilemma is which one to upgrade first. Which upgrade will effect my streams/recording with a larger impact. Now I do record more than stream. Would a gpu upgrade be better first or a cpu upgrade? I use obs to steam and NVENC to record on obs.

It really depends on your budget and willingness to switch over to an AMD based build, which both are very capable of your workload. But if you're wanting to stay with Intel, a 4790k would be worth looking at, but if you're willing to push it further you'll have to get a motherboard with a LGA1151 socket and get an Intel 7700k or even a 8700k.
