Hello. I am an aspiring Twitch streamer. I have been using a single PC to stream 720p60 for quite some time now. I believe this has been working out pretty well for me, however I would like the opportunity to increase the visual quality of my stream for those who are capable of viewing it at a higher resolution. I made the decision that I wanted to start streaming 1080p60. When I tested this, it was clear to me that my CPU was the problem. I stream games like Fortnite, Outlast 2, and soon COD WWII. Here is my twitch and setup:

Unfortunately, despite my CPU being one of the most powerful gaming processors out there, it simply cannot handle 1080p60 @ 6000kb/s. Unless someone knows a magical spell to make this rig work with streaming high intensity games at that resolution, I am thinking of upgrading the CPU and motherboard.
I have been looking at many different options. My budget is probably closer to 600$ total. From my research, the best bang-for-your-buck chip that has come up several times is the i7-7820x. Although this exceeds my price range with the preferred motherboard included, this seems like the best choice. It has 8 cores and a considerably high base clock. Let me know what you think. If there is a better option out there that will help me comfortably stream games like COD WWII @ 1080p60 without degrading my own gamer's performance and experience, please let me know. Please take note that my primary gaming monitor is a 1440p165 display. Therefore, I will be down scaling to 1080p from 1440p.
Two requirements for the solution:
1. I will not be downgrading my monitor to 1080p one way or another. I am too used to gaming at 1440p and would like to keep it that way.
2. I will not be using two PC's for streaming. At least not yet. I do not have the budget or the time for the potential required maintenance as I am working tirelessly in school and my on physique as I am preparing physically to join the military. Thank you so much in advance for your time and sorry for the long post. I wanted to provide as much detail as possible to make it easier to understand so I can receive the desired solution.
