You can run three displays off a 30$ GPU from 6 years ago, so you'll definitely be fine.

 

You can stream just fine with both of those. What cpu?

just one small ting, i realized when running 2 screens, think i had a 970 gtx at the time or a 670, where to boost clock were higher, so the cards ran way hotter, in idle states and used more power, with 2 screens compared to one, it was something like Strix cards running 33 degrees idle, and 50 ish with dual screen, still with no fan spin
