[SOLVED] Upgrades for streaming?

[bigheadtv]

current daily driver (from 2015)

• asus z97-k mobo
• gtx 970
• i7-4790k
• 16 gb ddr3
• 2 tb hdd
• no ssd (bc im stupid)

i want to start consistently stream & really take advantage of a dual pc setup. so, im in little bit of a pickle right now. should i keep using my daily driver as my gaming pc & build a decent budget streaming build? should i build a decent budget gaming build & use my daily driver as solely the streaming pc? any advice is appreciated. thanks.

I would say use this as a streaming PC, but if your budget for the gaming PC falls short, then don't buy a GPU for that PC, just use the 970 in the new build, and integrated graphics on the streaming PC. A GTX 970 will run at 1080p fine for about a year or two, then you can upgrade it once you have money again.
