As was suggested above, he really needs both upgrades for his usage in streaming. The OP further suggested he doesn't overclock and it is probably due to the 6700K out the box being a poor clocking part, the Z170X should be able to take the CPU to max OC for a 6700K which is around 4.8ghz. Since the OP is running stock it is pretty much a clean sweep here for the Ryzen 5 3600 which is going to net superior results across the board with pretty good streaming performance, if he is already running into limits with his current setup streaming will tax the setup even more.
Ryzen 5 3600 + X570 or X470/B450 if cost saving as well as a jump to a RTX 2070 Super will be in or around $600-700, going just with a RTX 2080ti is alone $1100 and a R5 3600 with 2070 Super is probably better than a stock or OC'd 6700K with 2080ti as the CPU will bottleneck the GPU long before it reaches its limit. In streaming and intensive workloads the 3600's SMT is going to crush the 6700K without breaking a sweat.
If you choose to go with the GPU for now you will get performance increase naturally with a better GPU but your gaming experience is going to be curtailed by the limits of a stock 6700K, your real solution is a full system update to Intel or AMD newer parts even if you do it in steps.
