Ok,so Im ordering a few new parts:
Corsair CX750W PSU
Intel Core i7-3770

GPU??????

So,Im going to be streaming... ALOT! I play on a single 1080p display with a 2nd 1080p display for the Twitch chat,twitter,youtube ect.
Im deciding on a $300 budget for the GPU,I know the 7970 is $330 so I might consider moving up a few bucks.

I've heard that AMD cards have problems with streaming or something? If not,I think the 7950 for $250 is a done deal for me. 
Thanks!

I would just get APU, if you are just streaming.

Also if you get APU you only need 500w PSU.

He wants to stream on the same PC.

 

Get something like a 7950 (or wait for next gen, which is around the corner) and buy a separate capture card, such as the avermedia live gamer HD; it'll boost your fps

Cooler Master 690 II Advanced - I5 2500K @ 4.5Ghz - Geil Enhance Plus 1750Mhz 8Gb - ASUS ENGTX 570 DCUII - MSI Z68aGD65 - Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B - Samsung 830 128gb and Crucial m4 128gb - much other stuff not worth mentioning

I have an Avermedia live gamer HD:p It doesnt help much while streaming. It helped by about 10 fps.

The 300$ is for the GPU alone. Wait for 9XXX series.

I'm able to stream Dota 2 at 1080p on a GTX 680 SC+.

 

A 600 series card could work if they're on sale.
