Hello I'm a console gamer using a Macbook Pro to stream to Twitch. Problem is, the Mac isn't handling the Elgato software + OBS very well. Likes to get hot, noisy and just all-around sluggish. I'm looking into buying a gaming PC to handle my streams and a bit of Photoshop/Illustrator work (also a graphic designer). Question is...what's going to get me the performance I'm looking for? Open to any and all suggestions. Thanks!

I'd like to keep it around $1500 or less, if I can. I was considering a new iMac (mostly for graphic design) but the guts (or lack thereof) that Apple is cramming into their machines is downright shameful.
