I would like to stream my games. Mostly League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, and maybe Borderlands 2 and Dota 2.

Right now when I stream my computer FPS drops and gets choppy. I'm assuming I need more RAM? My internet upload is kinda slow (about 0.7 Mbps) so streaming 1080 content is probably a no-go.

Here's my current specs. Any advice and what I should get would be apprectiated.
