Using a traditional setup you can have two instances of obs open and may be able to stream separately to each service, however, your webcam would not work on one of the streams (as as far as I'm aware, can only be used by 1 streaming application at a time).
You can stream and record to a local file simultaneously using obs and then upload later, or perhaps stream the recording? (although I, and several others, have been having trouble with this: post 1, post 2)
Alternatively you might be able to use the RTMP server configuration that is talked about here and also by @Jack0r on his webpage here. I am not sure how this would work 100%, but perhaps you could stream from pc one, send it over to PC 2 and stream the exact same stream from PC 2 on YouTube Gaming. I can't be sure though as I could never get my RTMP server to function correctly on my internet( its managed by a company, not me).
Hope this helps :)

Yea currently OBS-Studio can only output to one stream provider, so using a server like nginx to send it to more than one place would be an option. You can also use a service like restream.io if your upload is limited for example. You stream to restream and they send the stream to the services you want.
Last but not least, as BeardyBro mentioned, you can run OBS more than once but will run into problems capturing applications twice or a webcam more than once for example. In the future it is planned to support more than one output location directly within OBS. Not sure how far up on the priority list this feature is though. So it might take some more time until this feature gets added.

I am currently looking for a solution for YouTube & Facebook simultaneous streaming. Need a solution that doesn't seem beyond my capabilities... nginx seems above my head and restream charges extra for Facebook Live. Being able to stream to multiple platforms simultaneously is quickly going to become standard and I hope the next OBS release can make it happen. Thanks!

@Eros Peterson, he mentioned that restream charges money for Facebook Live :)
