I have plans to have a new pc built because I am in need of one I already have plans for a 800$ pc but money is a big problem and I might not be able to reach the budget. So, I am in need of help on a budget rig instead. I have plans to maybe stream or record league of legends game plays and edit videos in premiere pro. Maybe even play today's recent AAA titles and future games. I have a 1080p monitor given by my cousin which I plan to use. 

 

Budget: 400 -600$ I think I could squeeze 100$ more. 

Specifications: Should handle 1080p gaming, Be able to handle recording League of Legends or gameplay, I would like a red black aesthetic

 

I'm pretty sure I am asking too much for the budget but do make a couple of changes if you will to fit the budget. Thanks.

This build would be best because of the GTX 1060, even though the RX 480 is about equal in gaming performance and slightly cheaper, Premiere Pro uses Mercury Playback Engine for Nvidia cards which gives you a lot better performance than using an AMD graphics card.
