Looking For A Streaming Gaming PC Upgrade

[ManlyGamer]

I have had my budget gaming PC for a couple of years and I'm looking for an upgrade. I would like to run most/all new games at medium/high settings and be able to stream. At the moment I am able to run most games at medium/low. Im not looking for a completely new PC just parts I should upgrade. My Budget is around 300$
Specs:

CPU: AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard: ASRock 990FX Extreme3

RAM: 4GB DDR3

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560

PowerSupply: XFX Pro Series 550W Core Edition

Thank You!

SO much difference in GPU quality for only $20 after rebates it's unreal.

I would highly recommend option A.

P.s you will need to update the bios of your motherboard to run the FX-8320E

Thank you so much! I will definitely check those parts out!

May I ask why you recommended the CPU in particular?

because the FX-8350 or FX8320 would require you to change mobo.

The E editions do not, they require you however to update BIOS.

your motherboard doesn't support the 125W FX-8350/8320 so had to go with that one.

streaming is also cpu intensive so need the best you can get.
