You can get a version of OBS that has NDI and plug your laptop and PC into a switch so the laptop can do all your video encoding.

 

If all you want to stream is DOTA and CSGO, your PC should be able to handle both of those with no issue. Especially with the GPU, you can use the new NVENC encoder for almost no performance hit.

Try with CPU encoding for now. If you can't achieve quality and fps you want, then look for options. And if you are only streaming games that aren't that graphically intensive, you have option to use GPU encoder too.
