Question / Help Adequate hardware for 4K local recording?

I would like to capture/record my gameplay of the upcoming Borderlands 3 (releases in September). I have a pretty high-end rig, but haven't used OBS is a few years, and never for high-resolution recording.

Setup:
Processor: i9-9900k - 8 Core - 3.6 GHz w/ up to 5 GHz turbo
Memory: 32 GB DDR4 3,000 MHz
Video: RTX 2080Ti Duke
SSD 1: NVMe - Samsung 970 Pro
SSD 2: SATA 3 - Samsung 860 EVO
HDD: 6 TB Raid 5 array

The 9900k doesn't overclock great, but I am running liquid cooling and could probably get a few hundred more MHz if it would make a difference.

I don't know the exact requirements of Borderlands 3, but from the gameplay footage, it doesn't look especially demanding.

I plan on playing at 4K (3840 x 2160) with max graphics settings and would like to record with 4K @ 60 FPS. I'm guessing that, if anything, my processor might be the bottleneck.

What are the encoding and bitrate settings I should start off with? Is writing to disk going to be a factor? The game will be installed with the primary NVMe SDD, and I can write to the SATA 3 SSD if needed (then copy to the HDD array).

Any chance of recording 4K and streaming 1080/720 at the same time? I only have a 10 Mbps upload speed. If not, would it be possible to use a laptop on my local network to transcode and stream the video as it is being written to disk?

Wow ! My dreams machine ! If you can´t record 4k videos with that, what machine would do ?
