hi guys my current setup I would considering ok here is my specs CPU:i5 4690k MOTHERBOARD:asus hero vii 1150 socket, GPU: MSI R9 390 8GB, 16gb ddr3 Corsair Corsair ram. I currently play games on this seems fine but I would like to start stream and gaming online so I guess I would need to upgrade or get a new system. is there anything I could change or upgrade in my current system in order continue play newer games and stream?. or will i need to do a completly new system upgrade?

You could always upgrade to an i7 4790k, that would give you a few more threads for streaming and playing newer games. You probably want to upgrade that gpu to something like a 1070 or 1070 ti. Those go for quite cheap on ebay (around 200 for a 1070 and 280 for a 1070 ti).
