Hi, I'm Terran and i followed some advice that basically says "Just build tons of barracks and mass only marines and A move them into the enemy's base and keep doing that and you'll win games against non-masters and dont worry about counters and making different unit types until later".
And most of the time just marines surprisingly works, but i feel i'm ready to start incorporating other units and I was wondering what would be a good unit to start supplementing my marines with and how it would affect things?
Terran have other units than marines..?
Kidding. It really depends a lot on the matchup as well as your style, map and buildorder what kind of unit composition you want to be making. Against other Terrans, both bio (marines, marauders, medivac, drop everywhere) and biomech (marines, siege tanks and mines) will work. Against Protoss you should look towards bio, where you incoorporate marauders and medivacs, and maybe splash in a couple of mines. vs zerg you're quite open to possibilities. Full mech (siege tanks, widow mines and hellions) will work, halfmech it still pretty good, and bio is always powerful if you stay on top of the aggression.
I'm sure someone else can go a bit more into detail for you. I don't know what the current metagame is as I haven't played this game in a while.

i would recommend starting to look into more comprehensive matchup guides for a deeper understanding of which units you want, when, and why. but if you still want to take it slow and work on one thing at a time, start adding marauders and medivacs and learning how to do effective drop play

Would I be able to livestream using this kind of setup:
CPU: Haswell i3-4130 3.4 x2
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 630 2 GB
RAM: 4GB
I would love to livestream even on low quality! :D

Uhhhh, I honestly don't know.
Maybe post this here in the Simple Questions Simple Answers thread for tech support and leave it up to the REAL nerds here to get back to you :p.

The answer is no btw. Maybe at a very low quality. Your cpu and GPU (graphics card) is not good enough, and you don't have enough ram (you didn't specify speed on the ram btw, which is also important. Most computers come with 1333 or better now tho which is enough)
edit: Actually, your graphics card might be good enough. If it can run sc2 you should be able to stream with it. Its not very taxing on it to begin with, its mostly CPU(with ram) and internet speed which is the deciding factors. You'll need at least 5mbit upload speed to be able to stream at 720p while gaming btw.

Is it stupid to waste my 3K post by asking nothing?

Not more stupid than giving any special relevance to your 3000th post.

is there still a replay site to get high master or grandmaster replays ? or any replay packs out from gm's from the last month ? (p) in the past there was ^100 sites and now theres nothing left

Why doesn't innovation in his TvP build (cc-->two rax--->engi bay--->turret if he scouts two gas) just build his turret to 99% and finish it if something happens? In fact, why don't most terrans do this? No oracle? Blink instead? Cancel turret. Poor innovation wasted money on turrets and couldn't afford bunkers for the blink all in he had enough marines to defend. hmm

I have streamed with a way worse system (literally I had a 9600gt gpu 4gig ramm and a crappy cpu) it is definately dependant on your upstream though.

I used that set up with OBS and it worked really well.

On his stream, I've seen Patience grouping his Phoenixes with a Probe that is locked in place with Pylons. Why?
In BW that's the way the magic box works, you group units with a unit that is far away and most optimaly locked in place. If it's far enough, units will stack. I don't believe this works that way in SC2 though, might be just a force of habit? Or maybe there's something to it, idk

Hey guys I have a quick question. How do you cancel the most recent queued structure? For example, if I'm playing Terran and want to queue up three supply depots but misplace the third, how can I change the planned positioning for it without having to replace all three depots? I feel like I make small errors like that a lot and it takes too much of my attention.

You can't. You have to cancel the entire queue. Better get it right the first time, or redo it while the worker is still moving

It is impossible to remove one from the queue order, just right click and re queue them

Ah I thought I had seen a pro do it recently but I guess not. Thanks for the help!

I have a problem with Medivac pickups. In TvZ for example if your Bio is surrounded by Lings and your Medivacs are not right over the Bio, how do you pick them up without manually moving the Medivacs over the Bio?

If you rightclick the units onto the medivacs, they will both move towards eachother. It shouldn't be that big of a deal to control your medivacs for faster pickup anyways, because those are the units you're going to be controlling after your bio has been picked up anyways (to send home or out of the way).
