The main concern about your setup is the 720p60fps streaming at OBS using an i5 processor. You might want to switch to NVENC instead of other codecs. Even though OBS supports NVENC, performance can still drop when gaming with an i7-4770K and GTX680. However, I recently tested it with a GTX970 and noticed minimal impact, likely because the game wasn’t very demanding on the graphics card.
AMD VCE is an alternative but it has its flaws. https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs...ort.13996/ QuickSync - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idhkZy-tMTU The NVidia specs are clear. All these options make encoding faster, but at the expense of quality. At 3500Kbps (Twitch's top video bitrate), even high-motion titles appear poor. I’ve streamed Planetside 2 on Ultra with a 2560x1440 monitor, 720p at 60fps using x264 at 3500Kbps, and my 2500k processor handles it smoothly. The PS2 demands more CPU power. 1080p won’t work at 60fps on most games; I manage 30fps but the picture drops in quality (frames too large for Twitch’s limit). A 1440p display is necessary to watch a standard Twitch stream at 1080p in the usual window size, with chat enabled. The video will be resized to fit the screen. A 1440p monitor lets you see 1080p on a standard Twitch window (non-theater, not fullscreen), and the scaling keeps it playable.
