No, you could encode your video/stream on the GPU or CPU

[LogicalDrm]

No. You can get enough quality with just bit beefier gaming setup.

if you have roughly a 4th gen intel, 1st gen ryzen with 8+ threads or better, and a 1060 or RX580 or better you likely have good enough hardware to stream most more recent games.  Duel PC is there for professional streamers because it keeps there frame-rates a bit higher, and reduces chances of occasional frame-drops on the viewers end, but if you don't have 100s, or atleast dozens of people consistently watching and donating a duel pc isn't really worth it

I recorded gameplay with both an FX-8150 and a Ryzen 1600x. Using Geforce Experience recording, I never really felt any performance decrease while doing it.

There are plenty of streamers using one PC. I stream and record games just fine at 720 or 1080p with just a 4c/4t i5 and a GTX 970 blower card. So, you can do O-K on a mid-range sub $700 PC depending on what settings you are using for streaming/recording, the game and the game settings.
