well, if you streamed in 720p, an i5 would be fine. 1080p tho, you'd prob need an i7. bear in mind that youd need 5mbps-ish/up for 720p and about 10 for 1080.

I'd go for a Xeon 1231v3 or i5-6600k. No real point in going above 720p30 or 60FPS unless you're partnered because of bitrate limitations. 16GBs of RAM and a 1050Ti or RX 470 would both be fine to keep cost down but also maintaining a good enough FPS for the stream.

But am I looking into 2000$ range?? for a good PC??

Far from it, $800 can be pulled off very easily. $1,200 if you include the price of the mid-high end peripheral's and stuff

800$ with a graphics card also?

[EPPHO]

About 1000$ depending on where you live should be okay

Could be under but I think having a good case and 240GB SSD is worth the price

I would recommend an RX 480 8GB, but I don't think it can play games on ultra in a couple years. Get a 1070 if you have more money that you can spend.

720p streaming. 1080p streaming isn't worth it because of bitrate limitations. Heck most partnered streamers only stream in 900p but they can use higher bitrates. You could do 1080p in like Minecraft, Rocket League and other low end games but not worth it as your be stretching the 3500 bitrate limit to twitch. Also an i7 isn't needed for a starter streamer

Yes, but since your on a budget get the i7 6700 non k, since it's cheaper and comes with a cooler. But, if you can wait for Ryzen, do so.

[Budgepctgamer]

I am probably going to start late 2017 so Ryzen should be out right?

Should be. (If all goes to plan and amd doesn't delay ryzen for even longer)
