    What should I upgrade on my pc

    I am looking to start streaming more( kind of as a part-time job) and I was wondering what I should upgrade my pc before I start doing that.

    Specs:

    CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 Processor
    Memory: 8.0 GB Ram
    Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250

    The computer is little over three years old and I am trying to figure out if I should just save up to buy a new one. Or if I should replace some parts to get by.

    I am okay with my monitors at the moment and the rest of my hardware is fine.

    Pick up a new barbone kit... You can virtually build a completely new computer (with pretty damned good specs) for $600-$800 as long as you use previous components (HDD, CD Drive, etc).

    If you're going for a budget, check out below prices:
    ThermalTake case: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...343&CatId=1509 ($50.00)
    AMD FX 4170 4.2 GHZ + Mother Board ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ Motherboard and AMD FX-4170 4.20 GHz Quad Core AM3+ Unlocked CPU and ADATA Premier Srs 4GB DDR3 Desktop Memory Module Bundle at TigerDirect.com : ($225.00)
    Radeo HD 7850: MSI R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 Video Card - 2048MB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0 (x16), 1x Dual-Link DVI, 2x Mini DisplayPorts, 1x HDMI, DirectX 11, Dual-Slot, Eyefinity 6 at TigerDirect.com ($210.00)

    ------------------------------------------
    Total Price: $485.00

    Optional Purchases: Ram upgrade / replacement
    Power supply: Would recommend a 1000w+ modular power supply (modular saves $$ and space) for future upgrade.
    CPU Coolant: Corsair H70 or H100
    Case: Make sure to get adequate amount of fans for the case.

    I'm new to this site so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong category or whatever.
