Question / Help Does my rig need updating?

[Lobotamy]

Hey everybody! I'm gearing up to get into streaming, but I've come to realize that my PC may be a bit outdated for the multitasking involved. I would like to try and aim for about 720p @ 60 fps if possible. Could anyone let me know what in my rig would need an overhaul? Here are the specs:

Processor Core i5-4570 x64

Motherboard MSI Z87-G43

Ram G.Skill 2x4gb DDR3-1600

SSD Samsung EVO 840 250gb

HDD Seagate Barracuda 3gb 7200 64mb cache

Graphics Card ASUS Radeon r9 270x

Power Supply eVGA 500w 80+ Bronze

Thanks for helping me out!

Should work fine. Some newer games like Overwatch may give more trouble than older games though. The more cores a games uses, the better it is for the game but the worse it is for OBS.

Awesome. Thanks for the advice! I'll keep that in mind, monitor my CPU usage, and take action if necessary.
