Well the i7-6700 seems in your price range, but it depends in which country you live aswell. Motherboard depends on what you're looking for. mATX/ATX? Which features are important? Example of what you could get:

So are you saying stream drops frames because i have have gtx 750 TI? (if so then i'm getting a gtx 10 series gpu next, should i go for 1050 TI or 100 eur more for 1060?) Although when testing w OBS my cpu goes 90 - 100 % (is that normal for I5-4460)

You have an i5 4460 right now? IDK if upgrading is worth it then TBH, you're not going to get that much of a performance boost out of a 6500. Just spend the money on a new graphics card.

Well the 1050 ti isn't out yet, we don't know the performance. I'd wait for it to come out in 3 days as it may drop the price of the 1060, you can decide from there. What are ALL of the parts that you currently have?

You use the x264 codec now that uses the cpu cores,change the codec to nvenc and your 750 will be just fine,I record up to 1080@60FPS and I only have the gtx650 no ti.
You can also try the QSV codec to use the cpu's igpu for smaller filesize but nvenc is lighter on the CPU.

Yes and no,it needs more bitrate to give you a good quality but since there is no way to choose the correct minimum bitrate for x264 for any situation (and everybody uses the fastest preset anyway) there is no difference,if anything shadowplay gives you better video if you give it enough bitrate, if you have crap upload though it might be worse for live streaming.
I record with shadowplay and then compress the video again with quicksync before uploading to youtube,so 3 times lossy and the videos still look good.
