I am looking for a mid-level PC for content creation and gaming; preferably not looking to spend more than £1,250.
I have the current setup with some basic recommendations; but would like some more feedback before making a final decision.

I think you need to adjust your expectations a bit. You’re just not going to get anything worthwhile for just gaming, let alone content creation as well, for the budget you have set. You’re looking at around £1600-£1700 at the moment just for an entry level custom build.

The above build was good five years ago, but not these days.

I'm hoping to not spend a huge amount of money on a PC, I'm hoping to be able to play games and stream at the same time.

Same answer as before:

Alright, I'll look into it
