Should I?

Your system will stream fine. I stream on my C2Q 2.83ghz with a 750TI and 8GB of Ram just fine. Shadowplay is kind of amazing.

Just get an SSD and you should be fine.

Really, just an SSD? I run games on medium-low currently so I was thinking if I stream and want to run on high I should jump up a notch.

I didn't even think about Shadowplay, I was going to use Xsplit

You can use NVENC with Xsplit or OBS, and you get some pretty sweet performance benefits. I really don't know if you need to upgrade.

Well I guess I should say its not out of need that I feel like I should upgrade, more like I want to? I'd like to run current games on High with a nice frame-rate compared to the medium settings with frame dips I have now.

Get a 1060 and SSD

I have almost the SAME config at home...
>i5-4570
>GTX 760
>8GBs of DDR3 RAM

but I have 120GB of Samsung 840 EVO along the 1TB hard drive.

jumping from i5 to i7 (especially during gaming) won't give you that benefit (literally maximum +5 fps, it's not worth the price imo), but if you're not sure, google a bit and see the gaming benchmarks. if your fans are doing OK, then you shouldn't switch (but I use CM Hyper 212 EVO, which is nice - runs my i5-4570 at 30-40 degrees and during gaming, it's only 45-50 degrees). So from this perspective, your CPU is fine, and if you want to get a better air cooler which is cheap, I can recommend the Hyper 212 EVO.

Also, buying an SSD may be worth it. OS loads faster, games/programs load faster, I like it. Going for a quality SSD (like a Samsung or Intel or anything that's advised) may boost your PC experience (and yes, it's a meme, but a good one, and since it's cheap, it's worth it).

Regarding your graphics card, this is mostly up to you. If you're playing on 1080p, I think there's no need to go above the RX 480 or 1060. If you'd like to be future-proof, either go with the RX 480 or 1070. The RX 480 may be a good choice, it has a really good performance under DX12 and Vulkan (it performs around the 1060). The 1060 has better performance under older titles (DX11), and is more expensive than the RX 480. Like I said, up to you, but I'd go for the RX 480, since it can be more future-proof for DX12 and Vulkan (in my opinion, of course). Make sure you google after this. Sapphire's RX480 looks promising though, I'd pick that (and I will, around Christmas).

If you change your GPU, make sure your PSU is good enough. You may need to change it (so 400W PSU may not be enough, you may require a new one, like 450-500W of PSU).

I can't really advise anything regarding the case, that's something that you'll need to pick.
