Looking for Ideals for a PC that is just for streaming right now with maybe some gaming. I have 1300 to throw at it. Just wanting to know what are some good builds. As GPU are at crazy prices right now I'm not so worried for about that as I can upgrade it some time down the road and would be mostly streaming from Xbox/ps4. Any advice would be great thank you

Prebuilt is where you save money with the ram and gpu prices. You get a complete mid ranged gaming pc with everything your aiming for. LINK

or even this which is cheaper but still fast enough, LINK

@frankieg83:

You're always learning new things.... With these insane ram and gpu pricing going on, trying to help others build budget friendly gaming pc's. You just cant get ahead ATM. With what your planning on doing the 1st one I linked is good for the price, you get a Ryzen 8 thread cpu 16gb of ram a 128gb ssd 1tb harddrive and a GTX 1060 3gb and comes with built in wireless adapter.

Mainly for streaming I'd say go with a CPU like: R5 1600. If you can afford R7 1700 then get it, it will handle everything you throw at it and more.
Also get a 16GB RAM kit (2X8GB). The higher the frequency, the better (at least for Ryzen). Although I've noticed people with Ryzen builds often can't get their RAM to run higher than 2800mhz - 2933mhz. So don't over spend on something like a 3200mhz kit (you can always overclock your RAM or at least try). I personally have had good luck with overclocking DDR4 kits.
04dcarraher gave you a good recommendation. It's too bad GPU prices are so outrageous right now... GTX 1070 or even VEGA 56 would definitely accent R7 1700 & 16GB DDR4 nicely.
