Video editing yes. Gaming, upgrade the graphics card.

Exactly ^ and add 8 more gigs of ram.

Would the setup be okay to run dual monitors?
I want to be able to game while I stream twitch/youtube/facebook/etc. on the second monitor.

"upgrade the graphics card" that is your weakest link. Depends on the game, rez, and settings.
