All components working together simultaneously? A powerful setup indeed. CPU: i7-6700K, 6700MHz, 16GB RAM, gaming rig. Storage: Z170X gaming PC with 250GB SSD, 2TB black HDD, blue WD HDD, and an NH-D15 15GB SSD. Cooling: Sapphire R9 390 Nitro with 8GB RAM. OS: Windows 10 1080p.

Ultra 1080p works fine, though it will be challenging, just like any other card. Crossfire is available, or you could use an NVIDIA GPU with ShadowPlay.

Your internet connection meets the requirements for streaming.

the only improvement I could make is a 980ti or a fury x. i don’t really suggest sli/cf for livestreaming unless you have a two-piece rig, which can cause some problems from time to time, so it’s better to steer clear altogether.

With a 980ti, a 390 might require lowering the settings because it lacks shadow play.

Shadowplay doesn't seem to impact performance much. Streaming relies more on CPU power, and the encoding process often needs reduced graphics settings, which could actually slow down the GPU for the game.

GPU encoding affects performance much less than CPU encoding. When using shadowplay, there’s nearly no change in frames per second, which highlights the effectiveness of shadowplay.

Well, unless your game is the worst CPU tank ever, a 6700k should have enough room to fit a 1080p60 stream into Twitch's 3.5Mbps limit (the cap isn't strictly enforced, but they notice when you exceed it and get frustrated).

many individuals choose to save their broadcasts, causing a terabyte to accumulate rapidly. through simple calculations, at Twitch's peak bitrate you could fill the entire storage in just 634 hours—about three months of streaming if you stream six hours daily.
