    Breakdown:
    
    The suggestions the other guys posted aren't too shabby. 4 cores 4 threads should be more than enough for streaming 1080p 60fps content, but I opted to get something more powerful since it's still within budget.
    
    I got the Ryzen 5 2400G since it is a very powerful 4 core 8 thread APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) that should be much better in a dedicated streaming PC than either the Ryzen 3 1300X or the i3 8100. If you're wondering, you will not need to purchase a GPU with this since it comes with integrated graphics. The more cores and threads, the better your streaming experience should be. If your budget was bigger, I probably would have been able to add a Ryzen 5 1600/2600 (6 cores 12 threads) or a Ryzen 7 1700 (8 cores 16 threads).
    
    Got a B450 motherboard to go with the Ryzen APU. AMD promises to support the AM4 socket until 2020. If you wanted to upgrade to a Ryzen 3000 or 4000 series CPU/APU down the line, all you would have to do is a BIOS update. You wouldn't have to buy a new motherboard like with Intel.
    
    Ryzen works best with fast RAM in dual channel, so I did just that. I got 3000Mhz RAM. Be sure to check the manual on your motherboard to see how to arrange your RAM sticks in dual channel. 8GB should be more than enough for your streaming PC.
    
    Added a 256GB SSD. This will make your operating system startup faster, and it'll also make your applications startup faster as well. Everything should feel very smooth if you're using an SSD; anything installed in this will feel very smooth and fast to use. I highly recommend putting your most used applications in here.
    
    I'm wondering if you plan on recording some of your streams and storing them in your computer for making YouTube videos or something later. I added a 2TB HDD so you can save some recordings of your streams. Feel free to remove the HDD if you aren't going to do this.
    
    The PC case I chose is pretty compact and has really good airflow to cool your PC parts down.
    
    This 550W Gold power supply is more than enough for your build. It's fully modular, so that means you can store the cables you aren't using in a drawer or something; it'll keep things clean. It also comes with a 10 year warranty if that matters to you.

    Additional Notes:
    
    If you don't mind doing rebates, I'm willing to make another build with rebates.
    
    Some people in this thread added some relatively more powerful GPUs (e.g. GTX 1050, RX 570 4GB) in their PCPartPicker lists. However, these are, for the most part, unnecessary for a dedicated streaming build. You could have even gotten away with something like a GT 710. You don't really have worry about that though, since the Ryzen 5 2400G comes with an iGPU that also happens to be pretty strong in its own right.
    
    I'm assuming you plan on using an Ethernet cable instead of WiFi for the best possible speeds.
    
    If you are using WiFI here's a recommendation.

    I also did some research on capture cards.
    
    I think the Elgato HD60 Pro will be suitable for your needs. It has pretty much equal performance to the Elgato HD60S, with the difference being that the card I picked is PCIE, while the HD60S is external. I suppose the decision is up to you in the grand scheme of things. What really matters is that they are both capable of doing 1080p 60fps.
    
    I personally prefer PCIE since I like having everything in my PC, but it may be different for you.

This is a rather unconventional post for here as you don't need computer parts so much as guidance.

Use that for the psu. Top quality and oodles of power. Next get a new hdd. You'll want to store a lot of your streams if you're serious about streaming heavily. Set up your streaming program to record the stream so that you can upload it elsewhere when the VOD gets taken down.

Monitor is really up to you. You have the gpu power to play at decent setting on 1440, but as you're streaming I'd keep it at 1080p if i were you. My advice there is get 2. Play on one, watch chat and manage stream with the other. Something like this should work:

Mic. Mics can cost anywhere from $10 to $10000. Something like the <Blue Yeti> is great quality sound yet simple enough to be used by a (excuse the use of the word) amateur. On the cheaper side there's the <Blue Snowball>. It's a plug and play design that delivers good quality sound without needing to fuss over settings.

Headset. Whatever you like. Your audiance isn't listening through them, you are. I personally use a <HyperX Cloud> headset that while it doesn't have pro level audio delivers a good sound for gaming and is the most comfortable set of cans I've ever used. This is 100% up to you though.

I have no experience with webcams. If someone else would like to chime in about webcams please do. I know nothing.

Video editing. Step 1 get a new hhd. The software you edit with doesn't matter so much. Some people can do great things with shitty programs. I personally use Adobe premier. Its not very good but its very simple and has everything I need. Some people get away with using windows movie maker even. My advice is take a look around video editing forums/subreddits and download a free trial of a few programs. See which one you like the most and stick with it. The reason I tell you to get a new hdd is because depending on the quality you'll fill space fast. A raw uncompressed 1080p recording fills 20gb in 5 minutes. That said uncompressed is a stupid amount and data. However compressing eats cpu power and will fill space anyway. When i record I usually save as 720p30hz and that usually fills a several gb an hour. So in a month of streaming/recording you may fill that hdd and either need to get another or you'll need to edit and upload everything to make space for more footage. The only other option here is to make a large storage system. If you want to keep ALL you're footage I suggest you look into getting a small/med storage server, though I assume for your purposes just editing and uploading should be enough.

Best of luck streaming and have fun.

Yeah this is a really good build - another suggestion for a small case that fits in a backpack with a slightly different look is the Sugo SG13, more of a cube so taller but narrower and less deep. Not sure what the Node 202 fits, but you get a CPU up to 267mm (incl GTX 1080) and full ATX PSU up to 150mm (though preferably 140mm, like a Strider). Because of the mesh design it is also great for dissipating heat as it all just flows out the sides and top - https://www.amazon.co.uk/SilverStone-SST-SG13B-Sugo-Mini-black/dp/B00T85E8P6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502361114&sr=8-1&keywords=sg13

Vid on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ptbpKpObzs

• Node 202 dimensions: 8.8cm(h) x 33.2cm(w) x 37.7cm(l)
  
  
• Sugo SG13 dimensions: 18.6cm(h) x 22.2cm(w) x 28.8cm(l)
  
  On either one if you go up to a 1080 GPU I would recommend 500W PSU as the build would come to about 340W which if overclocked could really push a 450W unit; if you stay on a 1060 then the 450W will be fine. Also on both, be sure to go fully modular to free up space (much less cabling).

So, although I would recommend the AER RGB or the Corsair LL's as well, there's actually a great set of RGB fans for cheap if that's what you're looking for. UpHere Case Fans. I bought these but realized after speaking with Gigabyte (manu of my mobo) the only boards these work on from them are the X470 series and, would ya look at that, works perfectly for you. They've been reviewed by tons of youtubers and, especially for the price point, they recommend them as well. Give it a shot. There's a few different styles, I just sent you one to get you started.

Scratch your build.

Much better CPU. Faster RAM. Much better motherboard. More and faster storage. Better GPU.

You don't need to pay the full price for Windows 10. Just download Windows 10 Home for free at Microsoft website and activate it by buying an OEM activation key for 15$.

if you need RGB here's a link for an RGB case fan pack. You do need another 3-4 case fans.

This is a pretty good Amazon build, and can handle medium-high AAA titles and can demolish Minecraft, even at ultra resolutions.

AND IT'S UNDER $500!!!

Why you should use this build...

1. Why use iGPUs when you can fit a decent discrete GPU that can run AAA at high details inside the budget?
   
2. 8GB is starting to be the minimum requirements for a decent PC, let's go with 16GB!
   
3. A build with a SSD that is almost 20% faster than base Inland, Kingston, Crucial, and Adata models.
   
4. Support for Four-Channel memory and OC...

   Check out this build.

Your monitor type will depend on what type of games you want to play and how you want to play them (emphasis on frames per second or max detail/resolution - 1440p or 4k)

You have a fairly powerful setup so you could try and go for the 1440p resolution monitor (recommend 27") but it may come with a sacrifice of FPS. You'll also need to consider what refresh rate you'll want your monitor to be. Personally, I'd shoot for something at 144hz. If you want to maintain a higher framerate because you want that buttery smoothness, then I'd suggest a 1080p monitor @ 144hz.

You could do 24" as well unless you just want a bigger screen. It's important to keep in mind that there's no right or wrong answer here, it's a matter of preference. I'm running a similar setup to you but with a 1080ti and I chose a 27" 1440p @ 144hz monitor, specifically this one.

​

Remember that your monitor will likely outlast your current build, so it never hurts to spend a little extra here knowing that you will have something even stronger a few years down the road and the monitor will be able to accommodate that. Good luck!

Amd Ryzens are pretty nice at the moment and cheap. Ryzen 1600 is a good choice. I recommend a SSD disk and a second one HDD so you have a faster system and also an storage disk. Graphic card will be the hardest. Maybe a cheap 1050 2 gb will do.



Processor: Ryzen 1600 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XNRQHG4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520330748&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=ryzen+5+1600&dpPl=1&dpID=319ktX3yGXL&ref=plSrch

Case: also standard stuff - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00RORBQNW/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1520331936&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=pc+case&dpPl=1&dpID=41Wq97Jk20L&ref=plSrch


The total is around 700. You may need to add some more things put this is enough for full functionallity. Also, I wouldnt buy the parts on amazon, but this way you can search them in a good electronics shop from your country which adds the assembly. Standards can be changed easily, that depends on what you preffer.

You can probably still manage with the old PSU, but upgrading would definitely serve you well. My suggestion would be the [EVGA 650 GQ] (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Modular-Crossfire-Warranty-210-GQ-0650-V1/dp/B017HA3SQ8/), good efficiency and around $75

This one is pretty nice and it's 1440p, I hope I helped you out! :)

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/randycool279/saved/9vFjyc

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 - Should be great for gaming
CPU Cooler: Stock Cooler
Mobo: MSI B450 PRO MATX - basic motherboard
Ram: 16gbs of DDR4-3000MHZ ram, should be plenty
Storage: 250gb ssd for boot and 1 tb hard drive for storage. You can upgrade to a 2tb hard drive
GPU: RX 580 with 8gbs of Vram, should be good for gaming
Case: NZXT H500
PSU: Corsair 550w psu, more than enough to power this system!
Monitor: Acer 1080p 144hz VA Panel, will be great for gaming
Keyboard: Corsair K55
Mouse: Corsair M65 Pro

Let me know if you have any questions!

Gotta keep saving. Decent entry level 1080p gaming builds with like i3-6100 + GTX 950 start at around $450-500 and I'd recommend getting Full HD monitor too for another 80-100$. + keyboard mouse like $30 at cheapest in some entry-level bundle.

~So closer to $600 total.

For recording I'd recommend OBS with Intels "Quick Sync" encoding or Nvidia ShadowPlay as those don't impact the gaming performance much at all.

For mic you can start off with something cheap, but at some point, if you're serious about audio quality you'd spend like $50-100 on some condenser mic. Such as: http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Snowball-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B006DIA77E/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1457418672&sr=8-7&keywords=yeti+condenser

I've used the Samson C03U myself, bought it when I was hired to do some videos and I needed decent audio quality. Sounds like this if you use it right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6BGIBy3GAg

I use:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VKVZ1A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_5JYIBb8H9QJ08

With this thermal paste:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011F7W3LU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_uLYIBb6FD9PMT

The heatsink is large but it's super quiet. That whole family of heatsinks has good reviews.

What did you pay for this thing? FX-6300 is from 2012 (and was horrible already in 2012). This computer is worth MAYBE $200 on like a really really good day. Return it immediately and get something decent. You can do way better for $700.

I think a RX 5700 would be better, cuz future proofing firstly and lastly, you can't really play in 240hz with your RX570.

In future you can buy a 240 hz monitor tho. Or even better, a 144hz 1440p monitor like this: Ramdom nice monitor

Thanks for the reply!

And I figured I'd save up some more and buy this monitor in the future

Edit: a little under the max price so you could add a pack of fans like these to make your build look better : https://www.amazon.com/upHere-Wireless-Airflow-Adjustable-RGB123-5/dp/B07HCZ5WKJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=uphere&qid=1558786640&s=gateway&sprefix=uphere&sr=8-1

Hmm try this one out
Acer XFA240 bmjdpr 24" Gaming G-SYNC Compatible Monitor 1920 x 1080, 144hz Refresh Rate, 1ms Response Time with Height, Pivot, Swivel & Tilt https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYHZ6R6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_aEfsDbR1VE8DV
It was rated one of the best 144hz monitors for under 200 bucks in 2019

I agree with iampixeL3D, that you should preferably find a second monitor from Dell to make sure that colors, etc. are the same across all of your monitors.

Beyond looking for another Dell, I would recommend the Acer V277U. It's 1440p, 75hz. I just bought three of them and have them set up with two in landscape and one in portrait. I got them for $210 each on sale, but their not too much more right now (links below).

Is there anything wrong with getting a Thermaltake smart 600W to save a few bucks?

If you want to add a 1TB SSD drive to this, you would still be under your budget. Here's one from Amazon that is $450 on sale right now:

The 512 GB is $50 less, but might as well get double for that small amount.

Note: I didn't check any other sites, it might be cheaper elsewhere.

Thanks. Which one would you pick out of these 2?

Is this the Thermal Grizzly you would recommend for the Kryonaut? https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Kryonaut-Grease-Paste/dp/B011F7W3LU/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Thermal+Grizzly&qid=1567536059&s=gateway&sr=8-3

$200 for a 1080p 144hz gsync monitor. I had this one for 2 years before I went to 1440p.

Yes you can upgrade to 32GB if need be.

Well with the ones I have on the list, this 1 TB SATA 2.5inch SSD would suffice right? How would I check if it's compatible? With the SATA I could always just add an additional drive down the line if I really needed it I suppose.

I'd go with used or refurbished on that budget, try Offer Up, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslits or Ebay. If you can extend you budget a lil bit, check out the Acer XFA240 (Has G-Sync for your GTX card), Sceptre C248B-144R or the 27" Dell Gaming LED-Lit Monitor 27" Black (D2719HGF)

Ah yeah, I don't have a specific one in mind, though a lot of streamers I know use this one.

That's even a bit cheaper, but I would not upgrade anything for now.

Along with this capture card https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-Pro/dp/B014MQIVPS/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=capture+card&qid=1564218426&s=gateway&sprefix=capture&sr=8-6

It's the video input port. When you think about digital vs. analog data signals, VGA is the old, outdated analog. Meaning that since your 1070 will likely only have digital video out ports, you will have to buy an adapter of some sort, and the picture quality may not be as crisp as you are used to with digital signals, although that may depend more on monitor and adapter quality. Once it's a secondary monitor it won't really matter though. It's so cheap I think you'll be fine.

By old monitor blue cables do you mean VGA? If yes, no modern GPU that you'd actually want to use has that. But if it is an absolute must, there are HDMI to VGA adapters available. In regards to the i7, I'm going to assume your main focus is gaming, and you want the option to stream, run programs in the background etc. For that, a Ryzen 5 1600 would absolutely have you covered. Ya don't NEED an i7 until you're dealing with heavy editing, encoding, VM workloads. Out of time at the moment, but I'll get back to you later tonight with some recommendations and answers/thoughts on your other questions.

Well I personally have a corsair semi modular 550 but I am planning on upgrading to this https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B017HA3SQ8/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_awdo_kTtDDbQB2CX0Y

Those are a bit more pricey, im having trouble finding one in that price range for 4k 144hz lol. https://www.amazon.com/27-Inch-Monitor-Samsung-FreeSync-GamePlus/dp/B078P57ZWL/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=4k+144hz&qid=1556336667&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sr=1-10 if you can deal with having a 5 ms response time

On Amazon at the moment the ryzen 7 1700 is available for 5$ more. Here is the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5YCX6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PLh4Cb7Z7D929 . Probably a little overkill but will last for future more heavy games.

Check out this spreadsheet. Its from the r/sffpc subreddit. At a quick glance I found the 40$ SilverStone Sugo SG13 case decently small sized 222mmx285mmx181mm without need for riser cables. Also uses the standard ATX PSU size.

​

Edit1: Found a video with an ITX build with the same case and made a part list for it (note: The SG13 costs around 40£ and can be bought from amazon.co.uk.

You're asking for a lot for 750-800$. Here it is: build
mic : link
it is literally 800.

add an SSD https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-2-5-inch-Basic-Solid-State/dp/B00E3W16OU it's not that expensive

So went to start adding stuff to my cart and on Amazon they had a bundle with the processor, MB and GPU. I think the GPU might be a bit over kill though.

Thanks so much for your help! I have a few questions.

I already had my eyes on an AMD RYZEN 7 1700, but having trouble finding a vendor. I live in the Netherlands, so I'd rather buy it from a dutch shop, but I'm not sure about the risks of buying PC parts from US Amazon.
I found this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5YCX6

And it's much cheaper and includes a cooler. Do you know what causes this price difference?

EDIT: Dumb comment. I probably won't buy stuff from outside Europe. And I just noticed you recommended 1700x instead of 1700.

I took your advice and tweaked some parts; I'd like to know your opinion:

• AMD RYZEN 7 1700 8-Core Processor
  
• Asus PRIME B350M-A/CSM Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
  
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3000 16GB DDR4 3000MHz
  
• Keeping old GPU (Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti)
  
• Keeping old PSU
  
• OCZ Trion 150 240GB 2.5 SSD SATA III
  
  I decided I wanted to lower my budget a little bit, but still have some quality.
  All these parts are available in European shops and are 677,- EUR in total. What do you think?
