This'll do what you're looking for. Slightly over budget, but you can drop the optical drive and install windows from a USB stick.

Yes, and I'd normally recommend it over an i7 any day, because there won't be a difference in gaming between the two, but if you do stream a lot, the hyperthreading (the only thing the i7 has that the i5 doesn't) will help.
However, if you want to stay in budget, the i5 is a great choice - keep in mind, however, that buying the 3570k won't let you overclock unless you ALSO buy a z77 motherboard (I suggest the AsRock z77 Extreme 4) and an aftermarket CPU cooler. (I suggest the Hyper 212 EVO.)
what do you think about this build ? Can this build run on high settings with good fps and stream ?
