What cpu do you currently have? Probably not worth the upgrade. And that msi 760GM motherboard is known to be quite bad and it does not officially support 125watt TDP cpu's like the fx 8350.

If you really need an upgrade, get either kaby lake or zen, but that will cost you a new mobo, ram and cpu.
I actually wanted intel i5 4690k but that means i have to change ram and motherboard and get new ram i dont have that much i only can afford a cpu so i thought that the amd fx8350 will make my computer do better in streaming / gaming wise

The FX-8350 may cause bluescreens and instability. An FX-83x0e would be a safer bet, they have lower TDPs and should not cause issues.
Be aware however that even an FX 8-core is generally no better than a Core i3 in games, and is both more expensive and more power hungry. I'm aware that you'd need to change boards to move to an Intel chip and I'll not try to convince you of that, but a better solution to your problem might be to offload some of the streaming and encoding work to the video card using Shadowplay, rather than investing in a very old, slow, and power hungry CPU.
