Gaming yes, streaming not so much. What is your pc hardware budget?

Well, would like to stay around 1000 euros/dollars.

For streaming you may want to consider the ryzen series of proccessors. Something like th 1700/1800. They have 8 cores/16 threads which will help alot for game streaming.

Oh, one more thing guys, right now this is my setup:
CPU: AMD FX 6300
RAM: 8GB
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY GA-78LMT-52
GPU: GTX 1050 TI

Tried streaming with my current pc, and im really impressed that i can stream (tested gta v and fortnite). The pc that i asked about here should be better than my current one so. Or even maybe i can upgrade my current pc for better streaming and gaming? I dont really know.

This would stream much better. The performance on your side is probably decent, but I bet you are suffering from dropped frames, on the viewer side.

Well you recommend building new PC instead of upgrading my old? If so, can you let me know how much is my current PC worth? And how/where should i sell my current PC.

There are no viable CPU upgrades, for your system. It is a dead platform, and isn't worth investing money into it. You would probably make more money parting yours out, and selling the parts individually. Look at the average going price, on say Ebay, for part values.
