SUMMARY:
My wife has begun streaming on Twitch. I want to put together my old computer parts to run the stream to help take some of the weight off the shoulders of her main machine, which will play the game separately.

So to clarify, this GPU will NOT have to run the game itself. Just the Twitch stream and the OBS software on a 27" Monitor.

The old GPU for it fried, so any info and recommendations for a replacement GPU would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

NEEDS:
Minimum GPU for running Twitch stream and OBS
Considering the parts below, is this GPU overkill? We're trying to not spend too much, but we're willing to spend around $60-$70 so it runs well.
MSI GeForce GT730


CURRENT PARTS:
MOBO = Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R

CPU = Intel Q6600

RAM = 2x2 Corsair 2GB XM2X2048-6400C5

PSU = Corsair VX550

Monitor = Acer H276HL

You don't need a graphics card; what the streaming pc needs is a quad core and a capture card.
I'd suggest an modest i5 and use the integrated graphics.

unless of course you plan on having the streaming pc actually do more then just stream...
