Question / Help Is my hardware good enough to put up a decent stream?

Hey guys, i want to set up a stream with my ps4 and an avermedia live gamer hd capture card. my cpu is an i5 2500k, i got 8gb of ram, i am using windows 10. oh yeah, my graphics card is a geforce 560ti.

i am aiming for at least 720p 30fps. will my cpu explode? can i use the encoder of the capture card if my cpu cant hold up?

i would really like to prevent having to buy a new cpu, since this would mean i need a new mainboard aswell. or maybe get a newer gpu to use NVENC? best option for me and my wallet would be that the capture card is enough.

i am a little worried since i tried a little pc streaming with cs:go and my cpu was crying in pain. but i heard cs is quite a bit of work for my cpu already.

any kind of help or feedback is greatly appreciated!
 
Shouldn't be a problem, especially since you'll be playing on the ps4 (?) and encoding will be done using the avermedia.
