CPU Build Upgrade for streaming

[StareX]

Hello!

Friday is the Black Friday and I am looking to upgrade my old i5 3570k to a Streaming qualified CPU. (Alongside upgrading my old build with a new PC case and such)

I'm not going to lie here, I am looking for performance, I'm a competitive player and I need frames, I also want my viewers to enjoy a stream without stutters and frame loss that is unbearable to watch.
I am looking to stream at first 720p 60fps on 2500Mbps or so (I'll be getting Fibre Connection to improve that).

I have a build that is considerably powerful enough to drive x264 fast present on these settings: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DrVFq4
(I already own both SSDs and 980 Ti)
This includes the R7 2700x which I'll try and OC.

With my current needs and such, will this be sufficient for streaming at good frames, while still let me enjoy a smooth fast pace gameplay? (I'll be playing maybe Quake, CSGO, Battlefield, Call of duty, shooter games mostly and arena shooters).

Because so far, I am reaaally laying my eyes on the i9 9900k like a baby laying eyes on candy.

Detailed and opinionated on both CPUs would be appreciated, if anyone tried them both at streaming and you can say that I won't be disappointed, I'd be relieved.. I got the whole week to decide.

The i9 9900k won't be a big improvement over the r7 2700x, because both are 8c 16t cpus, the i9 only has +1ghz of speed but that is it.

If the 2700x somehow isn't enough horsepower for your stream, i would look into threadripper.

But first test the build, r7 2700x should be a very decent streaming cpu, you shouldn't loose much performance at all while streaming.

Should be some videos on youtube comparing the two, but I wouldn't bother spending the premium over the 2700(X) to get the 9900K. Also, you'll need more bitrate to support 720p60, probably around 4mbps. But that will render some people unable to watch due to poor download speeds, so unless you're partnered, I'd recommend streaming 720p30 at ~2500kbps. There are other settings you can change to improve image quality

Right now, with my current setup, I lay like hell in game and people see me stuttering even if I don't.

 

I just want to make sure I don't stutter that much, I don't want people asking me "Why are you starting at someone for like 10 mins and didn't shoot him yet"
