What’s your opinion on the importance of a dedicated streaming PC versus a dual-use system?

I’m debating whether to invest in a dedicated streaming PC or stick with my current dual‑use setup that handles both gaming and streaming. On one hand, a separate rig promises lower latency, easier troubleshooting, and resource isolation. On the other, a single powerful machine would save desk space and budget. What has your experience been? Does splitting workloads truly result in smoother streams, or can modern GPUs and CPUs handle both with the right settings?
