Yes that pc will be able to stream the games you mention but it can also probably stream some demanding games too

Yeah it should do. I would get a free sync monitor for a little bit more. Drop to a Seasonic S12II PSU to save money and a cheaper case maybe. White case and red GPU with black mobo looks off to me imo

Your main bottleneck will be your internet connection/upload speed. The PC may be able to stream that stuff at 720p at a medium/low bitrate, but having a slow upload speed will suck.

 

I would put at least two sticks of higher frequency memory in there.

Then I would get a motherboard with 4 DIMM slots as his only support 2. For future upgrade 1x8 would be better

Drop that expensive PSU and get a legal copy of Windows OS + drop to skylake it's cheaper and get an SSD in that budget if possible. I would also get a 480 8GB

Yeah, I know from experience that a Skylake i5 and a 970/480 is good enough for HD streaming.

Also, look on eBay for a windows OEM key, they're like £5 and they work.

Really, you could stream with either an i5-6500 or i5-7500 if you're using the x264 encoding.

 

What I use is whatever bitrate my network connection allows (make sure you use a constant bitrate or CBR), very fast x264 (NVENC works if you have an NVIDIA GPU and want to use your GPU for encoding, but you trade quality for performance), and 720p @ 60 FPS (1080p will look like crap). Although I'm using an i7-6700K, I see no reason why it wouldn't work for your i5.

Hey Doc, just for a heads up there is once a 2-3% performance difference between a i5 7500 and 6500. Your Choice, @DocBrown
