Can this handle some streaming?

[EyyMunchian]

Hey guys, I've recently kinda gotten a little big on youtube in terms of youtube streaming. I would like to take my streams to the next level. I was thinking of using 2 systems. 1 Gaming and 1 Streaming.
Gaming:
i7 4930k
16gb ddr3
gtx 1060 6gb

Streaming:
i5 2500s
8gb ddr3
amd gpu w/ 128 mB Vram (forgot which card)

I plan on using the x256 bit encoder. Should I stick with Nvenc with my gaming pc and stream on one tower or would both x256 be better?

I plan on streaming older titles such as borderlands 2
The Forest (newer)
Minecraft
Terarria
CoD
Battlefield 1, 4

Streaming requires the CPU to do some heavy lifting and the 2500 only has 4 threads. If you already have the motherboard and RAM, then I would probably look for a used 2700 and sell the 2500. The hyper threading in the 2700 will give a nice boost.

If you don't have the hardware, then I would look for a good deal on a AMD 1600 and pair it with a b350 motherboard. The1600 is the perfect streaming CPU with its 6 cores and 12 threads.

As Ive read x264 has better image quality over nvec but uses cpu (x264 is cpu encoding), nvec is gpu (nvidia gpu encoding), and it has a bit muddier image.
Note: Not noticable with nvec but needs a bit higher bitrate.

Also to add you need gigabit lan port (perferably dual on both motherboards), to connect 2 pcs directly and both to network.

Not sure how to setup that one pc directly shates internet to other.
