What else do i need to make a second streaming pc?

[ezyduzit86]

I am going to buy a new gaming pc strictly for gaming and i am thinking about turning my current one into a dedicated streaming pc.

What i will have in my streaming pc is

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
ASUS TUF B450-PLUS GAMING
Corsair Value 16GB 2133MHz DDR4 Memory
EVGA 500w PSU

I will be keeping my current gpu for my new rig so what gpu do you recommend? the cheaper the better. This will literally be used for streaming only. Do i need a capture card aswell to transfer over the game from my gaming pc to my streaming pc? if so which one is recommended? do i need anything to transfer over sound?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Why not do both on your 2600X? It's perfectly capable.

I have tried playing and streaming with this CPU but i am getting 50fps on games while streaming which is abit disappointing seeing as though i purchased this cpu to stream and play as looking at benchmakrs etc it looked ideal. I stream on x264 encoder and stream at 900p and no matter what settings i use i get bad frames. I used to stream on nvenc with my old cpu and got 100+ fps as the gpu was doing the encoding but even nvenc i get bad frames while streaming so have no idea whether its the cpu being faulty or just a bad cpu in general?
