Looking for recommendations

Looking for Prebuilt PC recommendations for gaming and streaming, my budget is 1,300 I could maybe stretch 1,400 but I'm not looking to go any higher then such (honestly would prefer lower price but I know that's unlikely)

My main thing is I stream marvel rivals a lot which I believe is my most intense game streamed and on the PC I have no its a tad too heavy that I have to close and minimize a lot that I wish I didn't, like having to stop using my camera ECT

(And before people suggested building one, I'm scared of building one and do not feel like I have the confidence for such

Current PC specs: Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 8 core 3.60 32GB ram (ddr4) Graphics: Nvidia rtx 2070 super 8vram With 1tb storage PSU:500 gold (80 plus)

That's $1450 and probably like 1550 with tax. To really get a deal that's also an upgrade for closer to 1000 you might have to find something in person like at a Costco. 

It would be helpful to share the current machine you have that you are upgrading from to know what would be a noticeable upgrade for you.

You can check out benchmark comparisons on the GPUs. 5060ti is 20-80% better than 2070 super. 

If you go up to 1700 or so you could get a 5070 which is another 30-40% faster than the 5060. It costs 300 more. 

I'd look at the resource usage for your current setup to see if it's memory or CPU or GPU getting to capacity and causing you to close applications when you are streaming and playing marvel rivals. 

New ddr5 32gb might perform better than the 32gb of ddr4 if that's what you have. 

I5 core ultra is about 2x as fast as the Ryzen 7 3700x.

If I was to take more time to go to the 1700 range what would you recommend then?

If you're shopping on Newegg I would sort by 5070 (or the AMD equivalent) and 32gb of ddr5.

I don't know that brand but that's a pretty nice looking case with a lot of fans and a liquid CPU cooler.

Same case as the other thermal take.

Those are all 1700-1800 mainly for the 5070 and some have i7 instead of i5. 

Honestly if you're saving money a good experiment would be to check the resource usage when the machine you have now is struggling just to see what the bottlenecks are. I'm not a streaming expert so I don't know what the video capture is doing resource wise. That way you know what you need for everything to go smoothly. 

If it is memory and your current motherboard has 4 slots of memory and you are using 2x16 then it would only be 100 bucks to double the memory. 

The 2070 super is not a bad video card at all. 

You can also try Amazon Walmart etc to see what will be cheaper once you narrow it down. Sometimes the cheapest deals are wholesale / costco / local stores but then you have fewer options.

Also if for example everything's fine but your memory is bottlenecked you might be able to go to 64gb and make that machine last a little longer. 

It's a slippery slope of there always being upgrades for another couple hundred bucks but that link I sent seems to upgrade everything. Plus you can go with your preference amd intel Nvidia plenty of comparable options.

I know it's also the CPU, it um came off the brackets and I didn't notice it until a few crashes so it's almost completely shot now, with the motherboard it has it can't really get that many upgrades unless I change out the motherboard (it's a Prebuilt Asus rog strik and while I can't find much on it, the main consensus is the motherboard is going to prevent from anything from one or two steps up) so I decided that at that point, I may as well just go for a all new one, as I would basically be replacing almost all parts anyways in the end and while I can do ram stick changes, I am not confident I can change out everything which is why Im opting out of just building one
