You're considering a setup with an i5 4690K and a GTX 1660 Ti. Streaming on a single PC using 3900X with the GTX 1660 should be possible, but performance may vary. The GTX 1660 is capable for streaming, though frame drops can occur if the GPU struggles under load. Upgrading to an Intel i9 or moving to a higher-end GPU like the 3800X with a 2070 Super would likely provide better performance and smoother streaming. Evaluate your needs and budget before deciding.

Check if you're utilizing NVENC in OBS. A 3700X provides ample power for Twitch streaming by itself with extra cores. An R5 3600 also handles Twitch content well. What is your monitor's resolution and refresh rate?

I'm using a Benq Zowie 144Hz full HD model with a 1ms response rate. Even with NVENC, games feel sluggish during streaming. I mostly play R6 Siege and Apex Legends. I'm looking for a solid processor and GPU setup so my gameplay runs smoothly while streaming.

The system has a modest 500 CPU and a 280 GPU configuration.

As mentioned before, a 3600 or 3700X provides the necessary boost. Streaming with NVENC often causes lag, likely due to your CPU struggling with the light workload even when the GPU manages encoding. This issue is common with 4-core CPUs and some 6-core/6-thread models. Current games typically require 4-6 cores or more, leading to stuttering or lag when background tasks run.
