I just need a cheap streaming PC build until I can upgrade in four months (January)

my budget is withing $600 I have $668 to work with

yes I need keyboard and mouse & one monitor doesn't have to be the best of the best either because I will be upgrading in a few months. Just want something I can use to stream & this build won't be used for gaming at all.

So what, you're streaming console gameplay?

If so, you don't really need to spend much so I'd focus on getting a nice monitor first probably;
PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($79.97 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock B450M Pro4-F Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($71.00 @ Amazon)
Memory: Team T-Force Vulcan 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($66.89 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Crucial MX500 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($49.95 @ Adorama)
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($42.99 @ Best Buy)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12III 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($44.99 @ Amazon)
Monitor: AOC U2790VQ 27.0" 3840x2160 60 Hz Monitor ($249.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $605.78

Grab any cheap $20-30 kb/mouse combo for now, easy enough to upgrade those later. You can save a little by getting a 1440p monitor instead of 4k, but only like $30/40 so I'd just stick with the 4k monitor, it's a steal for $250.

Alternatively, you could just grab a cheap 1080p monitor;

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($119.08 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock B450M Pro4-F Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($71.00 @ Amazon)
Memory: Team T-Force Vulcan 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($66.89 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Crucial MX500 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($49.95 @ Adorama)
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($42.99 @ Best Buy)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12III 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($44.99 @ Amazon)
Monitor: AOC I2279VWHE 21.5" 1920x1080 60 Hz Monitor ($79.99 @ Best Buy)
Total: $474.89

which would let you get an R5 2400G instead of an R3 2200G, and a nice keyboard/mouse of your choice or maybe a used RX 470/570 if you want, though you definitely don't need a discrete GPU.

Don't forget the cost of a capture card if you do not have one already. Pretty essential part in streaming consoles anyway. Elgato HD60 is good and goes for $150 usually.

Personal note, I happen to have an NZXT Kraken X62 (First variant), 2 1080p 24" and 19" 60Hz monitors, Razer Deathstalker Ultimate, Logitech G910 Spectrum all lying around.. If you cover shipping, legit all yours.
