No, that processor isn't suitable for streaming alone.

I’m searching for a more affordable build suitable for streaming on Twitch. This setup is just for gaming PC use, not for other purposes. I need to stream at 1600x900 with 60fps, and I want to know if my CPU can handle it. Thanks! — Edited June 26, 2020 by ProDiggy
It's feasible, though you'd likely need to run at very low resolutions. It might be wiser to stick with your gaming rig for streaming and play. (For NVENC in OBS, use it if you have an NVIDIA card, or AMF if you have an AMD GPU.)
Despite having a 3570k at 4.3GHz, streaming smoothly on any device is still tough, especially when using more than one PC and going beyond very fast speeds.
