DDR2 is now outdated and ram is often far too slow. I sugget DDR3 ram and slightly more of it . For this you will need a new mother board. The fx 8320 is great for streaming.

An 8320 at that budget isnt going to happen. Im not sure why smor suggested a g3258 with a CPU cooler when that is a non overclockable motherboard.

Here is what I suggest:
