[SOLVED] CPU or GPU upgrade for streaming?

[RealKayle]

So basically I want to start stream alot but I'm having a bit of trouble being able to stream with medium to high setting with most games.
I currently have:
GPU: GTX 1060-6gb
CPU: i5-6500
Motherboard: H110m pro-D
Ram: 8gb

I was wondering what I should upgarde first and to what I should upgrade it to. I was looking at a Ryzen 7 2700 but I heard that the 3rd gen for the ryzen is going to be really good and not that expensive. What should I do?
The games I would like to be able to run are: Far Cry 5, Rainbow Six: Siege, Overwatch (these kind of games)
My price range is about 500-600 but I'm open minded.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I see thank you so much for the great information. But now I'm wondering should I wait for the ryzen 3rd gen or is it not worth it? ( I was looking at the Ryzen 7 3700)

There will always be smt new OTH.

Now it's Ryzen 3 then it's gonna be Ryzen 4, 5, 6 ,7, 8, 9, 10.

If you wonder if you have to wait for the next big thing then you don't really need to upgrade right now and you are wasting everybody's time.

Ryzen 3 launches in July. I'd wait personally.

OBS doesn't incur much performance penalty.

I'd wait for Ryzen 3rd gen, as the leaks show that even the lowest-end Ryzen 3rd gen is a 6-core 12thread monster that will be very good at streaming(Probably more than 2x the multi-core performance of your current CPU)

Thank you all for your opinions and all the information. I did not mean to waste anyone's time. I'm going to wait for the next ryzen gen and probably buy the 7 3700. Thanks again everyone!
