I currently have a limited budget of $180 and I am wondering what I could purchase to have all around better performance, i.e. what graphics card would be the best. My current system is an Intel i5 4440 Quadcore 3.2Ghz, Radeon R9 270 2GB, 8 GB RAM, Biostar H81MHV3 Motherboard. Don't have enough room to install a second card also. Thanks in advance!

To be more specific, would it help increase performance while I stream H1Z1 KotK?

No. Streaming relies on your CPU. If you want to improve performance while streaming you will either need an i7, or wait for AMD's Ryzen to come out.

I think your CPU is enough. A better GPU will greatly increase your performance over a more powerful CPU.
