RAM is deflating so much in price that the smarter move would be just getting a GPU and a CPU that are many generations after the other computer's specification. The LGA1151 socket that the i5 7400 uses makes it available with DDR3/DDR4 memory compatible, but would entirely depend on your motherboard, so if you want to upgrade memory speeds you have the choice to do that without having to upgrade your CPU, or if you want more of that memory you just add it to one of the spaces available on your motherboard.

With gaming and streaming, you would want a newer generation graphics card. A GPU chip and a rendering chip are different things on the graphics card, the latest the rendering chip is manufactured (such as 1060 with it's Cuda cores) then it would produce better results in terms of quality of stream and your gameplay.

So yeah. Get the better option and pay the better CPU and GPU, because RAM is deflating anyway you can upgrade very cheaply now or even further in a few months time.

#2 is the best choice for streaming/recording fortnite. ram doesn't really matter 8gbs of ram is good enough for what you are saying you want.

Building a pc is cheaper, and it isn't that hard. Just watch a few videos on $500 budget gaming pc's and just follow how they built it.
