Is AMD Phenom II X4 850 good for streaming or should I upgrade

[LOLonPC]

Hello, so I'm currently getting into streaming but the problem is (i think) in my CPU. I have a Phenom II X4 850 CPU and Radeon HD 7770 Gpu with 6GB RAM. I am not getting over 20FPS (on stream).I am trying to stream 720p@30FPS but with no luck. I wanted to ask if the problem is in my CPU, GPU or both. Also I have a really good internet speed so that isn't the problem. I plan on streaming LOL and CSGO. Thanks in advance. I'm looking to upgrade the CPU, but my budget is only 100-110$.

I assume you're using twitch with amd game evolved. Are your drivers of AMD up to date?
How much are you getting without streaming?
Vsync off?

With 110$ you won't get big differences

Which motherboard are you using?

Thank you for answering. I'm streaming to Twitch with XSplit Gamecaster (Also tried OBS) and getting the same results.
Without streaming I get around 120FPS on League Of Legends and 70+FPS on Counter Strike Global Offensive. Also my motherboard is ECS A780LM-M (It's pretty old from 2011 just like the CPU).

Which driver version of amd graphics is installed?

Which driver version of amd graphics is installed?

Radeon Software Crimson Edition (16.5.1)
Also, I can stream at 720p30fps but when the action gets faster it slows down or just stops. (That happens alot)

Which other options do you use in xsplit? Is the amd hardware encoder if possible.

I stopped using xSplit and replaced it with OBS. I get better fps, but still not streamable. I get 10MBps and I tried putting Bitrate to 3500, 2000 and 1500 but none seem to be working.

Try amd gaming evolved app (powered by raptr)
Should be included in the amd driver package.

No luck, same low FPS.

one idea if your motherboard supports it a fx 6300 is a good upgrade its not a lot faster but its got 2 extra core which will greatly reduce teh proformance cost when streaming
