Putting together a starter dedi-stream PC

[Amoxicot]

Alright so my wife is a small time streamer at the moment. Does mostly creative but plays games from time to time. That being said, when she does stream games, obviously settings need to be lowered and whatnot in OBS/Game itself. My question to you guys is the following:

I am putting together a small stream PC to start the full stream PC process. I will upgrade at a later date, I just want to get something up and running. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YHsKM8

I did a little reading and quick explanation about the choice of parts:

CPU - Only going to be streaming games at 720p so might not need an actual Quad Core?
GPU - None needed due to Intel onboard enough?
RAM - 4GB because it is strictly running windows and OBS. Enough?
Case - Nice and slim to be out of the way like a HTPC.
PSU - Nothing big needed due to low wattage needed.

Now her PC specs

FX-6300 overclocked to 4.0
ASUS GTX 950 STRIX
8GB G.Skill DDR4
Sandisk Z400s (Soon to be)

Thoughts on this new stream PC being a nice base to build off of?

As soon as you have hardware encoding the rest just needs the internal bandwith to cope with the data-streams. I also assume you'll be using a capture device like an Elgato/Avermedia/Razer/...

CPU: It should have Quicksync available. Any i5 3XXX or higher should do well. Maybe even a solid higher end i3.
GPU: Quicksync will do the work.
RAM: If you're going to use the Replay feature add in another 4GB (and really, with the prices of RAM, go for 8 GB out of the box).
HDD: If you're also recording: Anything with a SATA connection will manage a 10Mbps encoded stream. Just go for a cool 1TB at the least, but you can even save directly to a NAS (I was doing that for the longest time). Very handy when your editing station is on another computer.

Rest seems ok.

Dedicated streaming PC means a two PC solution, or one PC?

In either case, even for 720p you want a quad core for streaming. Recording-only what you picked out would be enough if you use NVEnc with a recent Nvidia GPU. I would not go with integrated graphics only, even a cheap GTX 950 is worth it.
