I was planning to build a separate budget streaming PC (no capture cards w/ OBS ndi plug-in) would these parts be enough to stream at 720p 60fps? If they wont do the job any suggestions would be much appretiated :)

AMD Athlon X4 950
Gigabyte GA-A320M-DS2
MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 AERO ITX 2GB
Kingston 4GB HyperX Fury Black DDR4 2666MHz

I think there are much better options, but those will cost you a bit more as you'd also need to replace the motherboard, so in light of your budget and intentions you are probably on target with your plan and to be honest the performance of the FX series isn't a whole lot better than it is with that 1055T anyhow. Both are pretty long in the tooth and far past the point of relevance as primary machines, but for what you want I think it will likely work so long as your expectations are not too high.

I'm not going to be gaming on it though only streaming, I already have a 4790K+gtx970+16gb ram setup do I really need the Ryzen or i7 cpu? Or maybe I can stream and play on my existing computer what do you think?

I agree with ArchitSahu go for something 4 to 6 core like an i5 6th or 7th gen.
I use an fx 6300 rn with a gtx 1050 2gb card it handles 1080p most games at high settings.
Nvidia gpu's are a must because of the recording software its very top quality but produces major file sizes.
so an fx 6300 with 8gb ram at 160mhz and a gtx 1050 or better.
I would go for i5 though if you can get the money.

You guys are being idiots and not listening to what he's saying. He is NOT going to be gaming and streaming on the same machine. Two different machines, two different purposes. I realize this thread is a few weeks old so you might already be past this by now, but the fact is that the streaming PC can be significantly less capable than the gaming PC and still do perfectly fine. It should not even need a terribly capable graphics card to do so either.

Yeah I realized that I don't need a GPU for a separate streaming PC. I have and old PC that supports only up to AMD Phenom ll X6 1055T. Do you think this CPU is powerful enough to encode 1080p 60fps video for streaming? I really dont want to build another PC if I can just buy a CPU and use the old one.

I clearly won't be as fast as newer hardware, but a good shot, but there are plenty of people still on hardware as old as C2D that are capable of encoding and streaming so I see no reason why that would not be. It's not much less powerful than most of the FX lineup really and there are even more of those still in use than you can shake a stick at. Yes, I think it will work. No, I don't think it's a great idea or is worth spending the money on unless you can get it for a terrificly low price. If you had it already, it would certainly be a no brainer. Buying one, not so much.

Do you already have a motherboard and memory for the intended system? If so, what is the motherboard model you have that you were planning to use the 1055T in?

I have an old HP Pavilion Slimline PC that I want to use. https://support.hp.com/rs-en/document/c02627981 this document from HP's website contains all the info. The 1055T is 60 dollars and 4GB s of extra ram (if needed) is 17 dollars. The x4 955 is another option for half the price at 30 dollars but I don't think its worth to lose 2 cores since they are the compensation of the newer CPUs available (imo).

I mean its only encoding right? How hard could it be for a 6 core CPU? :) Anyways thanks for all the help!
