I'm a twitch streamer and have been playing on console but am wanting to switch to pc. It has been YEARS since I've done this and have memory problems. Building a pc would be really hard for me and am trying to see what my best bet is for a PC for streaming and gaming that doesn't go over $1000 (even that is high :c) A friend said AMD processor but I can only seem to find AMD processors with AMD 460 and 480 Graphics card. Someone I just met tonight said Intel processor and Nvidia Graphics card. I am also curious If I go with intel and Nvidia, would I need i5 or i7 and how high does Nvidia need to go? TIA.

Will be playing games such as: Garry's Mod, Fallout 4, H1Z1, SCP.

First, you timing is a little soon. AMD has long been behind Intel for the mid level to upper level CPU market. That appears about to change with the release of their new Ryzen line in about two weeks. Leaked performance testing appears to show that the Ryzen chips will be a better value for the money in the mid level market, where you are trying to build. The link below shows that the new Ryzen 5 1600X at $259 outperforming Intel's i7-7700K ($339) and the i7-6850K ($610).

So my first piece of advise is that you wait two weeks to see what happens. We can revise the build at this time.

In the meantime here...

In the meantime here is an Intel build for consideration.
