HELP - Turning previous gaming PC into Streaming PC for new dual PC Setup

Hi everyone,

Every time I have posted here everyone has been so supportive and helpful as PC technical specs is NOT my strong point.

I bought a PC from here around 4 years ago as my first ever gaming PC and it has been amazing. I am soon to buy a much upgraded PC solely for gaming and I am looking to turn my current PC into solely my streaming PC.

Could somebody let me know if the specs below of my current PC would be sufficient to be my streaming PC moving forward and if not, what changes I would need to make.

Thanks in advance!

Processor (CPU):
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core CPU

Motherboard:
ASUS® STRIX B550-F GAMING

Memory (RAM):
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2666MHz (2 x 16GB)

Graphics Card:
8GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070

Storage:
2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 256MB CACHE

500GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2, PCIe NVMe

Power Supply:
CORSAIR 750W RMx SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET

More than enough.

I would keep in mind that any modern day Nvidia card paired with a decent CPU would be more than enough to handle streaming as well. I don't think I would have a dual PC setup for anything other than professional use.

The 3070 should actually have the on-board functionality that allows streaming with minimal performance impact.

This is another example where your current PC is likely perfectly fine just with an upgrade.

This is the whole point of a custom PC is that they're user upgradeable which greatly extends the lifetime.
