    Its more about your upload speed than anything, your PC seems fine for streaming decent quality but not great. If you use xsplit youll probably want a better CPU and if you use OBS youll probably want a better GPU, but I would recommend upgrading both if you use OBS and want great quality.

    However if you don't have an upload speed over about 3500-4000 kb/s then it is probably not worth upgrading your computer to stream. If you're upload is over 5500-6000 kb/s you will able to set ur bit rate in the 3000-3500 kb/s range and have excellent quality for FFXIV.

    In regards to your resolution, with your current setup you might be able to get away with down-scaling to 1280x720. If you want to stream any higher than that you'll need some serious upgrades.

    I also have a i5 quad core but I have a 660 GTX, and OBS has a much higher demand for a GPU than CPU. I stream at a 720p downscale and bit rate 3300. Here is my most recent broadcast. http://www.twitch.tv/technyze/b/480089414 . I would love to stream 1080p unfortunately my CPU can't handle it

    Hope this helps!
