So I'm Finally Jumping on the PC Gaming Train and I've Hit a Crossroads

I wouldn't say I'm ascending, per say, as I still love my PS3 and I plan on keeping my Xbox One for years to come but I finally think it's time to get a proper gaming PC. I'm still torn on a lot of things (especially building from scratch vs a pre-built machine), but the biggest area I'm finding myself torn on is actually the monitor.

I know a lot of people make the jump to PC gaming for the sake of games looking as beautiful as possible but monitors aren't always cheap, especially when the budget is a bit tight.

My desk isn't huge so I'm giving serious thought to using a 19" TV I've had in my bedroom for the last two years. The TV is only 720p but I think it would make a nice monitor for a PC.

This then makes me question my whole build I would even put together (or pre-built that I would buy). Do I go for a budget machine that can max things at a higher resolution (future proofing for if I get a better monitor down the road) or do I build something that would be more focused on just maxing newer games at 720p.

Also, are there any good ways to buy or build a PC on a budget that are also capable of streaming gameplay, or is that something I'd need to hold off for a more "money is no object" build in a few years?

TLDR: Console gaming n00b is sick of playing games on his macbook and has no idea what he's doing.
