    I see you need a monitor, do you need o/s well or any other peripherals? What is the total budget for everything? Do you have any older parts that you could probably re-use? Maybe link your current pc specs.

    My PC is very old, not going to use anything from it. Everything I need is written here. It will cost around 1050 €. I already have a monitor but I need a second one for streaming. So what do you think?

    The cpu cooler is a bit outdated it was awesome 5years ago, you can get better than that for alittle more. The psu to put it simply is junk, and ssd is something that i would not buy. Not that its bad but there are other more reliable brands. Similarly for the case, buy something to last not something you will just throw everything in. You left out ram so that would get you over 1100€. Price wise it would have been very good if not for the previous i mentioned.

    Trying to keep prices down while making the build better this is what i would go for:
