$650 USD Budget MAX

I'm trying to build a new pc for $650 that will livestream videogames on twitch. I have already experimented with streaming and began to fall in love with it but I have way too many limitations with the pc I currently own. I've worked for a couple months raising money to purchase this new pc and during my free time I built a couple pcs on pcpartspicker.

 

View my setups: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/crocman132/saved/

 

Although these pcs are more than $650 I would like to shave off some of the unnecessary purchases in order to save extra case for other needs.

 

I have a spare HDD, don't add one. 

 

If you can make a better pc, link it below please.

What games are you streaming? You might benefit from having 16Gb of RAM.

I'm streaming fps games such as Minecraft, Fortnite, Cs:go, etc.

You should be able to get away with a Ryzen 5 1600 for those, but for longevity I would still recommend Ryzen 7.

 

As well as 16Gb of RAM, you can barely multitask having Fortnite open with 8Gb.

Is that even possible with a $650 budget? @Crunchy Dragon

You might have to make some cutbacks elsewhere.

I already made the cutback of reusing a 1TB HDD so would this work? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2cyx29@Crunchy Dragon

That should work.

Will the Ryzen 5 and the 500 watt psu be enough?

Yeah, I run an overclocked Ryzen 5 1600 and an overclocked GTX 780 on a 550W PSU, no issues.

I'm going to hope you're right because that means this build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2cyx29) is going to be my final decision.
