Gaming Experience Choppy While Streaming

[zaccchh]

I just recently upgraded my computer and the specs are supposed to be amazing. I should be able to stream to twitch without having choppy frames while gaming. Although, this is not the case. I have an AMD Ryzen 2700X and the streaming software claims it only uses 3% of it so this can't be the problem. My graphics card is an NVidia 1080 so this cannot be the problem either. I have 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and i do no think i need anymore. The only thing i did not upgrade recently was my storage which is my 1 TB HDD and 256 GB SSD which are about 5-6 years old. Is it possible that the old storage is the problem or is there some other issue I am missing. I did not think storage would affect the stream that much but maybe I am mistaken.

Your storage is fine, I've recorded LOSSLESS gameplay at 1440P on a 5400RPM hard drive and it was fine.

Make sure that whatever program your using to stream is set to use all of your cores and threads.

I believe by default it is set to use all cores so I don’t think this is a problem. I’m not sure how you would use more threads if all cores are being used.
