Hello everyone,
I recently got into streaming but i think my current build is not able to perform as I would like too and stream at 720p at the same time. (not even thinking about 1080p)
Obviously it's time to upgrade it as far as the motherboard and cpu go at least but i would like to keep it on a budget probably around 250-300$ top for cpu and mobo.
Here is my current build i know its a bit old ;) :

    ■ Intel core i7 860@2.93ghz
    ■ Nvidia GeForce GTX760
    ■ Gigabyte P55-Us3l
    ■ Gskill Ripjaws Ram 8gb @1333mhz
    ■ Kingston HyperX 3k SSd 120 gb
    ■ Corsair CX750M psu

    As you can see I have upgraded almost everything on my build but it would be a great help if I could get some suggestions on what I've done wrong and give me a quite money saving way to upgrade it. Thanks a lot in advance.

Ty very much I've also heard that AMD processors are somehow better for streaming. Is it possible to get a suggestion on the same price range but with an Amd processor?

Admirable
I wouldn't believe that, especially considering I've seen quite a few streamers (GoldGloveTV, ChilledChaos/CriousGamers) all warn people away from AMD systems when it comes to Streaming. The multithreaded performance might help you with streaming, but it won't do you any favors when it comes to the actual game.

Although it is out of your range, it might be worth it to save up and get a Z97 board and a I7-4790K
