If I was the father of that i7 CPU I'd say she can do better. But if you are going from a much slower video card, then it's still good enough for 1080 in most games at medium settings. RX 580 is better but is still under what an i7 can handle by quite a bit. You are in the range of a 590, Vega, 5700, 1070 card to have a more balanced setup.

I'd go with a RX 580 at least here.
Nope. I don't think there would any serious bottleneck issues here. You should be fine with that CPU and GPU combination. You can even get a slightly more powerful GPU as well.

Do you play games on 1080p ?
 
So, you don't play any GAMES on your PC, just streaming ? I don't know much about streaming though, so I cannot comment on this.....
