Like.. Everything but the PSU and RAM..

Also please don't type in all caps as it's hard for some to read.
pretty sure that profile picture is a violation

depends on what monitors you are going use and the quality you are going to be streaming in. Personally if you were gaming I would think you would have a better video card, at least a 770.

From what you posted and what you are thinking about doing, upgrade the video card 770/780/970/390 and upgrade your psu 750 for a decent one or 650 for a really good quality one. That way you can game/stream/record with no issues. RAM is good, better to have more than not enough.

@Tario - Welcome to TPU! Sorry for the welcome you got. As Toothless correctly noted, all caps is harder to read and yes, when it comes to entering text on the Internet, all caps is considered yelling, and not "good forum etiquette". All caps should be used sparingly and only to emphasis a critical point.

Have you tried doing this already to see if it works? I think your setup should work as it is. It would certainly be the envy of many.

You already have gobs of RAM and a decent motherboard that supports 1Gbps networking for good streaming. Your PSU brand and series indicate a quality PSU but the model number is not complete (at least I can find nothing on a 50G1). Should that be 650G1? If so, then that is fine too. Even more capable if 750.

The graphics should be GeForce not Gr. And as seen here, there are several different models of the GTX 750Ti series, some with 2GB of RAM some with 4GB. Some with 2 output ports, some 3, some 4 ports in various combinations of HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort. Some running at 1020MHz with others clocked up to 1202MHz. You need to tell us which card you have and what ports your monitors supports.

That said, note that while the 750Ti is not a high-end graphics solution, it is no slouch either!

Even your CPU, a i5-4440 Haswell Quad-Core 3.1 GHz (3.3 GHz Turbo) is a decent processor.

So again, have you tried this to see if it works? If so, and you are not happy, what does not meet your expectations?

And finally, and this is CRITICAL (see what I did there? ) we need to know your budget!

Sorry about that guys its just how I text and I was doing that from my phone...Also sorry for replying almost a year later but I honestly didn't get any kind of notification that I was replied to...I found your replies when Google searching the same problem so felt it was only right to log in and say thanks for the help...but my psu is 750 and I have a gtx geforce 750ti 2gb gddr5 ftw edition... I can play csgo just fine even record it with obs but when I stream it gets choppy...as far as my budget goes I don't really have one being that I have a kid now but can do a little saving @Bill_Bright @flmatter @Toothless Thank you guys for helping

gpu upgrade probably be what is needed then you use like OBS with NVENC/AMD hardware encoding option. that would be cheapest way to do it, quality will take a hit using gpu encoding option but other then that would be replacing just about everything hardware wise to have enough cpu power to do it less you used a 2nd computer for encoding.
