Got rid of the junk PSU and gave you a faster CPU as well as a good SSD. This case has bottom PSU mount (which is one reason that it is so much better).

i've used obs before. i'll put it like this if you try to stream on that i3 you can do it but the quality will be poor. if you try to stream on an i5 the quality will be MUCH better, if you try to stream on a i7, pretty much the best quality and performance balance you can get without sacrificing anything.

in short streaming seems to be your thing, get no less than a i5, grab the i7 if you can put it in your budget.

Edit: i'd drop the SSD since you already have a harddrive and use that to increase your budget for a better cpu imo. can get the ssd later
