Question / Help Not sure what build to choose..

Hello!

Friday is the Black Friday and I am looking to upgrade my old i5 3570k to a Streaming qualified CPU.

I'm not going to lie here, I am looking for performance, I'm a competitive player and I need frames, I also want my viewers to enjoy a stream without stutters and frame loss that is unbearable to watch.
I am looking to stream at first 720p 60fps on 2500Mbps or so (I'll be getting Fibre Connection to improve that).

I have a build that is considerably powerful enough to drive x264 fast present on these settings: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DrVFq4
(I already own both SSDs and 980 Ti)
This includes the R7 2700x which I'll try and OC.

With my current needs and such, will this be sufficient for streaming at good frames, while still let me enjoy a smooth fast pace gameplay? (I'll be playing maybe Quake, CSGO, Battlefield, Call of duty, shooter games mostly and arena shooters).

Because so far, I am reaaally laying my eyes on the i9 9900k like a baby lying eyes on a candy.

Detailed and opinionated on both CPUs would be appreciated, if anyone tried them both at streaming and you can say that I won't be disappointed, I'd be relieved.. I got the whole week to decide.
