Well, Shadowplay isn't really what you want if you want to be serious about streaming. CPU h.264 encoding is what you want, not some GPU thing. If you want to just get something that'll work, the Quicksync function of your i5's iGPU is fine and you'll have no load on the CPU/GPU meaning you can pick any GPU you want. No need to pay the extra price premium for the GTX 970 when you can save $70 and get an R9 290 that performs almost as well. Shadowplay is kind of pointless for you since if you're going the non-CPU route, you already have the quicksync option.
