Solution
If games are important, spend the money on a PC with a discrete graphics card rather than the Mac. You will have a wider choice of games and better performance. If you are just a casual gamer, happy to play at reduced detail levels, there may be other reasons why a Mac is a suitable choice.

No, the specs are inappropriate. If you want to game, stream, and model on a Mac, you'll have to pay the Mac premium. This is essentially paying $1100 for what a basic $500 PC laptop will do. If you want what an $1100 PC gaming/streaming/modeling rig can do, be prepared to double your budget.
