Question / Help Few questions about hardware for streaming

I'm building a new pc that's going to be used to game and stream and had a few questions regarding cpu's for streaming if anyone can help, looked around but have seen a lot of conflicting answers, these are some of the things ive heard and what I want to know.

1) gaming suits high ghz, streaming suits more cores.

if your doing both do you just get a cpu decent at both or does one get preference ?

2) obs/x264 only uses 24 threads max.

is this true ?

3) obs/x264 doesn't work well with dual cpu setups

is this true ? if ghz and cores were the same would a single cpu system be better than dual ?
