How well does NVidia Streaming work?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but here goes!

I'm currently running 2 PC's (lounge & man cave) and I've just ordered a new GTX 1070 and 1440p monitor for the man cave and the current 970 will replace the 280x in the lounge PC which is connected to a 50" 1080p TV. I mostly use the lounge PC for gaming and watching Kodi etc.

Do I still need the lounge PC or would it be possible to stream the man cave PC to the Lounge TV using something like a Shield TV or Steam box and could I use it for browsing and media playback as well as games. How would running at 1440p on man cave PC be handled when streaming to a 1080p TV and would a wired network be good enough for smooth 1080p 60fps streaming?

A couple of years ago I tried the whole 10m HDMI lead to TV but it was more trouble than it was worth and gave up with it mostly because of HDMI conflicts and sparkles :(

So is streaming good enough to lose my second PC?
 
Thanks, I can afford to keep both systems I was really looking at wether I needed to keep both at this stage or if I could recoupe some money and cut down on gadge!!! But it would have to week seamlessly like having a PC connected to the TV but I could put up with the odd glitch as long as they were few and far between :)
 
Thanks for the info. tommy :)

Just bought a Shield TV off mm so going to see how that goes, I do already have one of the original (fire risk) Shield Tablets so I know my way around!
