Hello all,
I have an older pc with some outdated parts. I am looking to stream/record at 1080p 144hz and am currently unavailable to do so. I have about $600 (including money for monitor, I don't know what to look for when buying a monitor) to spend on upgrades and I want to know how I can maximize my performance for streaming with the money available.

Specs:
Monitor: Asus VS24AH-P 5ms
Motherboard: Asus Z97-A
GPU: GeForce GTX 970 4GB
CPU: Intel i5 4460 Quad Core @3.2Hz
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB DDR3
 
Solution
the cheapest part would be to swap out the 970 for one of the newer 1070 cards. see if you can stream then. if not you may be better off parting out the old pc and then going with newer parts or saving up some more money.
