Been trying to stream H1Z1 and when I do I drop fps in the game a lot, I want to upgrade some parts in my PC to maintain a higher fps while streaming. For example, when playing normally I get 90-120fps but when streaming I can go as low as 50fps, but usually stay around 60fps. You'd think 50-60 would still be fine but when you get used to 100 in a game like this, 50-60 feels bad. I don't want $1k in upgrades, just want to know what I should upgrade first or what should be priority to make game run smoother when streaming.

Here are my specs:
Intel Core i5 4690
GTX 1060 6GB
16GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
Corsair CX650
Gigabyte H81-M S2H Mobo
Some 2TB HDD that probably should have failed by now

If you want to game and stream, you should probably consider a new pair of almost everything.
I'd start with the CPU. Unfortunately this means a new motherboard CPU cooler and ram as well.
If you want zero impact from streaming, you're going to have to go quite high end. I'd look at the new coffeelake processors and pick the one you like. Optionally you can save a few bucks with a Ryzen 1600 and a b350 motherboard. Both builds will require new DDR4 ram.

Have you experimented with cleaning and tuning your PC?
Clear out %temp% abd %windir%\temp
run malwarebytes anti-malware
run chkdsk /f/r on your HD
defrag your HD
download sysinternals from Microsoft and use autoruns to see what runs on startup.
kill all background tasks. Select...

kill all background tasks. Select "performance" in your windows desktop settings.
