Let's get a little more information on what you want and what you have - there's a sticky'd post at the top which contains a questionnaire you should fill out and post here. That will allow us to be much more helpful in directing and advising you.

Best,
Ryan

Oh haha.

Well since I'm not really experienced at this it's hard for me to explain.

Well, I am really looking for a stable FPS while live streaming medium-high graphics settings (Starcraft 2 wise.) and for when I am not streaming, well, pretty much the same.

I really need a new case too, it's really old and a lot of the inputs are broken on it :/ My monitor is fine, I am making arrangments for a new mouse.

I also need to upgrade to W7 from Windows XP. Not that I really need to, I just like the wider range in variety for livestreaming options + it isn't so outdated.

Why don't you read through the first post here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/353572-31-build-upgrade-advice really quick and fill out the build guide so you can be as specific as possible so we can help you best.

With your budget just to start I'd go with an i5 3750k and a GTX670 or so...I'm not sure yet though, lets discuss it more once you've filled that out so I can be more specific with the advice!

Best,

I have an Alienware x51 i3 with 8 gb RAM ($811 after tax and shipping) and i can play sc2 hots on ultra graphics while streaming 1080p+ with pandora running and i have dropped a total of 2 frames on my stream. Ever. With $1000-1100 you could upgrade to the i5 and maybe even the i7 and you will definitely be able to do anything.
