In the end, with taxes, it would amount to 345 CAD$ ( so around) 246.58 USD.

That gpu is not going to fit it is to wide. Also the power supply in that computer will not have the cable necessary for powering it. The hdd inside is going to make the loading times horrible.
Instead build something like this. Go to eBay and look at a used pc there make sure it has these 4 things.
Ram: 16gb or more that is going to improve basic productivity by a lot. Don’t get a pc with only 8gb
Storage: make sure it has a thing called an SSD it will improve loading times and everything by a lot. Minimum I would get is a 512gb ssd.
Cpu: an intel i5 7400 or higher like an intel i7 7700 or i3 10100f.
Size: make sure it says full tower or mid tower not sff that is going to find a small enough gpu for it really hard.
Now for a gpu. Intel gpus are something I would recommend only pc enthusiast and tech tinkerers to mess with. Not the average person who just wants a streaming pc or basic web browsing. So for a gpu these are the few I would consider for this pc.
A Gtx 1050 is great on the used market for $80. Without having to deal with intel issues or worrrying about having all the power connectors you need.
A Gtx 1650 for $104 on eBay
Now capture card really not much I can comment on.

Would i still get Av1?
Opening-Gas-1805@reddit
No you would not get av1. However Nvidia streaming encoder is a decent option compared to av1

It may also be worth mentioning that this is a second PC for streaming only (even though the mention of a capture card implies it). So, I’m honestly only looking for the minimum requirement so that my stream looks good with an A380 (without, of course, the PC coughing blood while i only ask it to stream stuff).
Opening-Gas-1805@reddit
There are a few reasons to not get the a380.
Software are still being worked on and improved as this pretty much a new product that the average consumer should not get.
Arc gpus really only work when you got a thing called rebar. And none of the pc you have looked at will support rebar. Minimum pc that will support will have a 10 gen intel cpu like an i3 10100f or i5 10400f.
The a380 need for additional power connector which most prebuilt don’t have as they will only come with the connector needed for it to power and no modifications.
Also the pc you found would work just not with the a380.

So, I need a motherboard and CPU with resizable BAR and then there is something else about the power connector which has to do with the 8-pin input I guess? I kept being told to just go with a premade refurbished PC to lower my costs and then just get the A380, but in truth I would need to get every part individually to make it work.
Opening-Gas-1805@reddit
Just look for a prebuilt that has a 10 intel cpu or newer, that takes care of the rebar. Now psu just ask the seller if the psu has it you cans send a message to an eBay seller.
Now question do you already have a pc and needed another for streaming or no.

well, those are my specs :
- 12th Gen Intel(R) Core (TM) i5-12600K 3.69 GHz.
- AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
- Pro B660M-A WIFI DDR4 [motherboard]
But before buying a whole new pc i'm gonna try using a CC and start the stream from my Asus laptop ( i9 11ht gen + gtx 1650) and see if i'm satisfied. I was letting my little bro using it and was feeling bad from taking it back but he assured me that i can use it anytime i want since i did not sell it to him.
Opening-Gas-1805@reddit
Perfect that laptop will be more than enough for streaming

would this one be better? There was no option to look for full tower, only tower and mid tower so i don't know if it's also too small.
