power supply has to go.
the Corsair cx550m (black and gray label) or the Seasonic S12II 520W are my budget high quality suggestions.

links are for example only shop around, not an endorsement for newegg
if you need more processing power to stream I would suggest flashing the motherboard to support Kaby lake and changing the CPU to an i7 7700.
more RAM

I always want to cry when I see fairly new equipment being used with a garbage PSU with a 1997 design.
