That is still a damn good combination for gaming. What screen rez and refresh rate do you game at? (If that is your reason for the upgrade)

Assuming for the moment that you don't want to start over with a whole new platform, the first thing would be to upgrade the gfx card. The 2nd would be to get a matching stick of RAM and utilize dual channel mode for ~10% bump in performance.

1920x1080 @60hz and my friend says its all good but i feel like i can do a few upgrades to it and like i said, it doesnt really matter on price or components i would need to buy for it either

At 1080p/60Hz, you already have more CPU than needed. And the gfx card is already producing more frames per second than your monitor can refresh. If you want to go a different route, list your complete specs.

About the only thing you're lacking for fast streaming is possibly a better gfx card. More VRAM and a step up to a GTX 1070, 1080. Your processor is not hurting you. Are you sure you have a solid internet connection?
Run MSI Afterburner and open the OSD so you can monitor CPU usage vs GPU usage. See where the weak spot is.
Here is something to read that may help.
