Here's the Guide on How to do a Live Stream:

Broadcasting Software

There are several broadcasting software available in the market. But the most popular ones are:
1.Xsplit [Free and Paid]
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

2.FFSplit [Free]
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

3.Open Broadcaster Software [Free]
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Majority of the streamer uses Xsplit but sadly you will only able to stream at low resolution with mono sound if you choose the trail.
I'm using OBS(Open Boardcaster Software) because it is easy to use and able to stream at 1080p/720p for free.
So in this case, I'll be probably posting the guide mainly focus on OBS.

Requirement

1.Computer
Recommended system requirement should be at least an i5 to stream at 1080/720p, provided the game isn't using too much resources.(Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, etc)

If you want to stream power hungry game like Crysis 3 and such, i7 is recommend to stream at 1080/720p.

Higher the resolution, the more resources it will use.

2. Wired Internet Connection
At least 5mb connection is required to stream a lag free video.
So for my fellow Malaysian, a minimum 5mb internet speed(Unifi or Maxis) is required to stream a constant good quality video.
Fiber Optics is highly recommended.
For wireless user, it is best to use a wired internet connection to stream because wireless might suffer from unstable issue.

3. Live stream Website
Twitch.Tv

USTREAM.Tv

Also popular among gamers and other livestreamers. Some event like New year countdown or any festival will be streaming on here. Future PS4 will be able to direct livestream on this website.

Youtube

One of the best website for video streaming and the only support for 60fps, 1080p streaming for free.

Livestream.com

Premium live-stream website. Being used by large company such as Facebook, NewYorkTimes, Nike, C|net, and such.

Personally I love Twitch.tv as it is a hub of all live-stream gamers out there and the games are categorized so viewers or users able to easily find their game of choice.

However there are some games that doesn't recognized by twitch so it is hard to change the title of your stream. If that is an issue for you, you should try out ustream.
