I've noticed this across several community channels—using two towers might be a smarter choice for streaming and gaming. With an Intel i5 and an Intel HD 1060 GPU, it could offer better performance than having just one setup.
I suggest those who aren’t already quite large streamers but still have plenty of funds to invest in a Ryzen 1700x or 2800 setup. You won’t notice much drop in gaming performance, and you’ll save significantly. Even after saving money, you can easily replace the motherboard and CPU if needed.
Your i5 model from Devils Canyon onward handles the task well. It supports 720p60 instead of just 1080p60. You can also shift the encoding process to either the GPU or iGPU depending on available power. If needed, a capture card becomes necessary because today's computers lack video input ports. A simple capture card costs around $70 to $100, while more advanced options like those from Blackmagic start at about $150.
According to logical DRM, you can utilize your graphics card. Nvidia shadowplay includes a built-in streaming feature. I believe there are tutorials available on YouTube on how to stream with shadowplay. It seems NVIDIA and Asus likely ran a shadowplay campaign for Honor Game. This should benefit you well. Shadowplay is popular among the YouTube creators and streamers I’ve observed (kcmo, Ramsey, blooprint, suspectTV), making it a worthwhile option.
