GPU for Streaming

Okay so what is a good CPU for streaming, I seriously need a new one soon.

r9 290 is about £50 cheaper than the 970 over UK.

I will be getting a different CPU soon also, but I am happy at 720p for now :)

so what would you recommend? Thanks!

Well streaming is mostly down to your CPU. Although, with nVidia you can take advantage of ShadowPlay streaming which cuts down on CPU usage quite a bit and really helps your framerates.
