Midrange Streaming PC

[Benson]

I'm planning to build a streaming pc and I would mostly play League of Legends.

 

Here are my desired parts/features that I want for my system:

• Upgradability 
• Intel Build
• Dual Monitor; both 1920x1080 (Included on the budget)
• 80+ FPS while streaming
• Less than $600 
• Peripherals like mic/webcam/chair is not needed

Can you guys help me?

Less than $600 streaming build including two monitors in the budget? Sorry, but that's not gonna work I don't think.

Less than $600?? Oh my........

Honestly, $600 is tough. If you can bump that up to around $650 you can get this which would do the job for LoL, but the GPU will not max more demanding games:

Any less than this would not be acceptable as a streaming/gaming multi-purpose PC. I literally can't think of a part where I'd skimp. PSU? Hell no. That's where things get dangerous. GPU? Maybe, MAYBE if the only thing you'll ever do is LoL, but I find that highly unlikely. CPU? No way in hell for a streaming PC. Motherboard? Already as cheap as possible with 4 memory slots. Storage? Already as cheap as possible. Case? You could save $10 bucks, but then you'd end up with a shitbox and the Core 2500 is actually decent.

what if I bump it around $700? would it work?
