I'm looking for advice/opinions on purchasing hardware to upgrade my current PC. I'm looking to have it be versatile and be able to game, stream and edit. For gaming I would like it to run pretty much any title 1080p 60+ FPS while streaming. For editing, I would like to not be such a chore when I'm experimenting with software; namely Adobe After Effects.

This is the build I currently own - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/TimeMuffinPhD/saved/Y8wFdC

This is my idea for what I could do - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9rvnWX

I'm trying to work from a £700 budget, I'm not sure if that will get me exactly what I'm looking for, but I hope that it can get me close! Appreciate any advice, thanks.

Thanks! This looks like a great build.

Can I ask why the RAM is so expensive? I've attempted to do some research on it but can't really get a clear answer. How much of a difference is 3200MhZ?
