Streaming and Recording Games

[suh_dude]

I was planning on getting a Intel Core i5 7400 processor, Nvidia GTX 1050 ti, and 8gb of ram as a new computer and I was wondering if that would be good enough to stream games like Overwatch, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, and other games like that. The broadcasting/recording software is going to be OBS.

Not really, Ryzen 1600 will be better choice for that price point. What is your total budget and living in US?

The price point is around 700 in US
