Streaming only PC for gaming?

Hey guys so I'm thinking of building a PC just for streaming gameplay so my current system doesn't face the huge bottleneck while using fraps or anything (specs at the end). Main reason being is I have a horrible cpu so gaming+recording is pretty much impossible lol.

One of my friends has some desktops that he doesn't use anymore, which I could get away with scrapping its PSU, motherboard, memory, and a hard drive with 64bit windows 7 (I don't know specific model numbers for the parts but I can check this weekend). The only other parts I believe I need is a capture card and cpu.

My question to you guys is what's the lowest of each (price wise) I could get away with to have a decent streaming only pc. I'm just starting out to record gameplay, so 720p is fine for the capture card. And I know an AMD quad core is like an i3, but would one of the new Vishera models work? And I'm trying to spend as little money as possible.

Thanks!
