I don't have a GPU right now, I think what I could get for 30€ maybe I will be lucky and get gtx 650 ti, that's the best option I think I have. Games will be like world of tanks, maybe some ets 2, cs:go.

I think CS:GO is pretty CPU intensive, IDK how it'd go streaming. Can you get your hands on a cheap compatible i7? The extra 4 threads would be a massive help. 

 

Bottom line is, don't expect great results, but just try it. Tweak some settings, maybe settle for lower quality, and you should be good to go.

Yup, I will be gaming simple games.

What games. And what will you stream with? I've got one, paired with a 980 Ti, and Shadowplay works fine, but IDK if you can stream off the GPU.

Not really anything better. And a GPU would be a bigger help. Like I said, just fiddle with settings and run lower quality, and you should be good. I mean, people managed to stream on quad-cores before, so it's not impossible...
