A 3950x would handle the tasks well, offering the best performance. A 3900x could work but might feel limited. Going with 3950x gives you the most reliable experience.
It offers slightly improved clock speeds which should enhance performance. The exact impact on the price isn't clear yet. However, it should support 4K streaming and recording without issues.
Which GPU are you using? If it's a Turing card, you can simply run nvec and achieve a performance of 3700x/3600, which should suffice.
with cpu encoding varies by game but usually lacks sufficient processing power as others mentioned. Opt for GPU encoding—it makes little difference and Turing NVenc generally outperforms X264 with medium or slow settings. It's uncertain how well it would manage 1080p at 60fps and 4K simultaneously, though my 3900x found it difficult to encode 1080p at 9000kbps (upscaled to 1440p on output) using medium X264 while playing Monster Hunter World. A fast preset was necessary, which isn't ideal.
