so i want to get into streaming games such as overwatch and minecraft but i only have a pentium g4560 which is a good budget cpu for gaming but can barley handle streaming to twitch my build has a evga 1050ti, 8gigs of ddr4 ram, 1tb harddrive, msi pro series b250m-vd, a evga 430whatt powersupply and the pentium g4560 should i just upgrade my cpu to the intelcore i5 6600 or build a new system with a that can handle streaming
 
Solution
what u should do is switch encoding to nvenc as it will mainly use your gpu instead of your cpu but wont really cause a loss in fps on many systems and your system should do fine the way it is you don't need any more than that i5 to stream but the Pentium should do fine also you should stream at 720p if your trying to stream 1080p
