Here is the link to the Pc part picker and this is the best i could find http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/HCmm7P I am looking to livestream games like Minecraft, Garry's Mod and League of Legends. Are these parts good to play at high settings while livestreaming? If I need to add anything extra or upgrade a part please tell me. Also this is my first post on this site.

I couldn't fit anything better into to it at that price. For that price, you pretty much hit best price/performance. Do you have a budget that you want to reach or do you want to keep it at your current price?

My budget is £300 to £400 ish

For gaming, even more so for live streaming, I would not recommend a Pentium. I'd be looking towards the i5 territory. If you're willing to purchase used parts, for less than £400 I can build you the best desktop "bang for your buck." Only the processor and GPU are used, everything else is brand new. (To be honest, the CPU is even in new condition.)

The GTX 560 Ti performs similar to the R7 260X to be honest anyhow; they both have DX11 and will have partial DX12 support. The above build is much better in performance over your otherwise brand-new Pentium build. The case I've selected isn't the most attractive, but it's cheap, includes two case fans and has USB 3.0 supports (so does the motherboard).

By the way I have also included an optical disc drive. You can remove it if you believe it's unnecessary; thus saving additional funds.

All the best.

Ok Thanks a ton! Quick question with this setup would it be able to livestream and play at the same time with high settings?

My budget is £300 to £400 ish

I ended up making 2 builds, one at your $400(Euros) budget and one at $430(Euros), if you are fine with the larger budget. The only difference between the two is one has 2 cores and one has 4 cores(both being intel CPUs), respectively. Here is the one with 4 cores($430 Euros):

They both have the R9 270X which is a lot better than the 560 Ti and has a newer architecture. AMD cards come with Mantle and DirectX 12 support, and the 270X will come with 2 or 3 games. You can check for this when you buy the card. If you would like an nVIDIA build, just ask.

Heres the benchmarks on the R9 270X:

If you would like any more info, feel free to ask. Hope I helped
