Believe it's about time to get the f*** off my macbook and buy myself a gaming pc to stream/play on.
Problem is, I don't know sh** about computer specs, and I am a cheap bastard, so I need your help.
There are a few pc's that I have been given specs for, and I need to know which would be best for streaming/playing.
I know these will not be the absolute best quality systems, I just need something "simple" that will be able to run/stream games like PUBG on medium-high settings. Other than that, I just plan to stream drawing stuffs (photoshop and such, but my macbook can do that).

1)
Dell XPS i7 minitower system :
- Intel Core i7 870 (turbo boost to 3.6GHz)
- 8GB DDR3 RAM (2x4GB; 2 free slots open)
- AMD Radeon HD6770 1GB
- 750GB HDD
- WiFi
- DVD-RW drive
- Front-panel memory card reader
- Windows 10 Home; activated with key

2)
Dell Precision T3500
- Xeon X5650 six-core twelve-thread CPU; typical turbo boost to 3.06GHz (same class as Core i7 970)
- 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 RAM; 3 open slots for future upgrades
- 535W PSU
- nVidia Geforce GT440 1GB
- WD "Velociraptor" 80GB OS drive + 500GB Blue data drive
- DVD-RW drive
- Windows 10 Professional x64 with license key on case

3)
- Intel Core i7 3770 quad-core CPU (turbo-boost to 3.8GHz; eight CPU threads)
- 16GB (2x8GB) Kingston DDR3-1600 (two free slots for easy upgrades)
- ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA1155 motherboard (with PCIe, USB3, CrossFire and SLI support)
- Sapphire Radeon HD7850 2GB GDDR5 video card
- Seagate 1TB HDD
- Thermaltake TR2 700W PSU (WAY overkill; support for dual video cards & lots of hard drives)
- DVD-RW drive
- Antec Sonata mid-tower PC case with front-panel USB3
- Front-panel memory card reader
- Windows 10 Pro x64 (Straight from Microsoft and activated with a legitimate key; not pirated or cracked)

If you’re looking to go with something that has good Multi core processing go with the Xeon, even then I’d suggest going with it as the i7 3770 is only 10% faster but the Xeon has 2 more cores and nearly double the threads, and games are becoming more demanding while benefiting with more cores. But the i7 3770 build has a better gpu. But I’d still go with the Xeon and buy a new gpu entirely
