My friend's starting to stream, but has come to realize his 2010 iMac isn't up to capturing his console and streaming it. What's the price range I could tell him to expect with a pc?

Hi, my friend doesn't have a lot of money right now, but is getting more and more into streaming, and is actually building a little following. Right now he is just using the built-in streaming through his Xbox one and ps4, but he wants to stream through a PC so he can add a better face camera, stream alerts, and all of that and hopefully continue to grow his channel.

If he's not using the PC to play the games, but just to capture the video from the consoles and then stream it, what's the minimum he needs hardware wise, and what cost is he looking at? I might be willing to help him either by loaning him some money, or front-loading the money I'm sure I would have eventually donated through his stream or subscribed to his channel, but not so much if we're looking at a $1,000 machine. I'm hoping for $500 or less if we can get away with it. Any thoughts?

Edit: Sorry, I realized I should mention what he's streaming. He plays PUBG, Overwatch, and Cuphead mainly, but might also play some Rocket League. As far as quality, I think we'd hope for 720p and 30-60 fps. Somewhere around there.
