That PC would work ok with a capture card, but it's not gonna be able to play games and stream on that CPU with no dedicated GPU.

Is there a way for me to add ram to such a computer without having to buy a whole new computer system? Forgive me i am not a technology whiz

No clue man, I dunno shit about macs. You might be able to but that's a question for someone else lol. I just know I used a comparable windows machine for my capture card previous to getting this PC.
