I doubt it. While they have decent core speeds. This one for example, is only a duel core. I don't think it will be able to stream smoothly.

What CPU are you planning on going with exactly?

Yes... I understand the type of CPU. What model? i3 what? Pentium what? There are tons of different CPU makes within those types...

Get the Core i3
combine that with the video card you mentioned and...
I disagree.
You will be able to stream minecraft.
(But what I don't know is if you're streaming the game from a server or streaming a video of you playing out to the internet.)
They have different requirements/needs.

The problem is gaming AND streaming. I highly doubt he will be able to do that smoothly with that CPU. It is a duel core with 2x virtual cores. The extra 2x virtual will help, but because they are not physical. I dont think its enough.

He didn't say he was going to stream himself playing the game for others to watch.
Which means he may not have the game installed and he may be just streaming it to his system to play and nothing else.
That's why I asked for clarification.
Playing a streamed game only takes minimal hardware. But playing a local game and broadcasting it on the internet requires more power/ability.
That's why the term "Stream" isn't enough information.

I think either way the answer is still doubtful it will be smooth. Streaming externally (aka twitch) requires both ISP and CPU processing. Local is still CPU processing. So he will still be playing a game and recording. That is muti tasking two heavy hitters for the CPU.
I wouldn't recommend doing either of the two on that setup. Not saying it can't be done, I'm saying it most likely wont be a great experience.

"So he will still be playing a game and recording."
He didn't say recording.
"Local is still CPU processing."
Yes, but it would be only slightly more than streaming netflix at 1080p. Which would be doable but I agree...
AfeefJ: I think you should get a Core i5.
I'm guessing androbourne is correct and you're playing a locally installed game but the term "Streaming" ment that you'll be broadcasting your playing for others to watch. In which case: I agree. You'll need more CPU for that kind of workload.
If (for example) you were to just use gamefly's on-demand service to play a game hosted on a server then you'll be looking at much lower system requirements and the i3 MIGHT work but it will struggle if you try to combine that AND recording or broadcasting.
