What software are you using? What are your other system specs?

As it stands, an overclocked 2600k is pretty much as far as four cores will go. To noticeably improve you would have to move the E platform which is much more expensive.

I suspect it is a software problem, as you shouldn't have trouble hitting 60 with that CPU.

your CPU is already quite good, maybe you should check other things, your encoding settings, maybe try GPU hardware encoding;

anyway, a 5820K OC would already provide some extra CPU performance for gaming and encoding.

also, some games just run badly with any hardware, like ARK or Dayz

Your i7 2600K is the best option, an i7 is most suited for those purposes.

I have a i7 4930k and 16g but if the bandwidth of the live stream isn't good then it will stutter could your connection be an issue?

I'm with the rest of the gang. What video card/GPU do you have? How is your internet connection?
