You're thinking about enhancing your PC for streaming. You're considering the GTX 1650 and are weighing the 17-10700k versus the 19-10850k options. To stream comfortably, you might want to start with a 1080p setup for smoother performance. Since you currently have an LGA 1151 motherboard, you'll likely need a 1200 series board if you decide to upgrade. Checking reviews and recommendations for these parts can help you make the best choice.
It's tough to find GPUs these days, but a fresh GPU would offer better performance. I've noticed RTX 3060s, 3090s, and RX 6800/6900XT available quickly in Canada, even with a high-end CPU.
It’s possible to stream without integrated graphics, though performance may vary.
Nvidia NVENC remains superior for video capture. Quicksync excels in Premiere Pro's export speed, but you won't be editing if you're streaming. It merely extends processing time during export, which isn't a major concern when you don't need instant results.
