Question / Help Low budget build for 1080p/60fps (Streaming PC)

Hello, guys!
So, I want to upgrade my streaming PC, so I can broadcast at 1080p/60fps on YouTube.
My current streaming PC does not hold 1080p/60fps, only 1080p/30fps. I wanna build a PC that can use x264, since I use NVENC now.
I was thinking on a Ryzen 5 1600, but I don't know it's performance on this configuration. Can it hold this config at 10.000~15.000 bitrate on veryfast preset, or even faster?
I intend to maintain the GTX 760, so it can process the overlays, transitions, alerts, etc.

Or do you guys think it will be best if I only replace the GPU for a GTX 1050, and stay on NVENC? It will be cheaper, so that will be awesome for me. :)
The GTX 760 takes 100% usage on 1080p/60fps, so it loses frames, and on 1080p/30fps, it goes to 60% usage.
I believe the GTX 1050 will hold the 1080p/60fps, since my GTX 1060 (gaming PC) doesn't use 20%.

My current config:
i5 3470
GTX 760
8GB DDR3

Thank you!

An R5 1600 should be able to push 1080p60 at "veryfast" , possibly even "faster". However, do make sure to add a GPU that can handle the compositing of the video. A GTX 1030 or Radeon equivalent at minimum.

Another question, do you think, in the meantime, I could replace the CPUs and VGAs to gain more quality?
Like, put i5 3470 + GTX 1060 for gaming PC and i7 6700 + GTX 760 for streaming PC, so that the i7 could render in x264?
Do you think the i5 would bottleneck in latest games like Resident Evil 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, DMC5?

Honestly, no clue, but I doubt there would be any significant issues.
I don't have the game myself, so I wouldn't be able to test it. However, an i5 should be able to keep up to at least 60fps, depending on ingame settings of course.
