just use the integrated card,  and that should be more than enough for streaming.

You need a capture card for what you want to do. I'm not too familiarized with them, but others in the forum are

BTW, what consoles are you streaming? If your streaming a Nintendo console except the Wii u, you can get a graphics card and stream it from your pc. Even better, get a GTX 760 and use Shadowplay to stream.

If your playing the PS4, you can stream directly from the console without a problem.
