Thought about getting into mining a little when im not active on my computer

I dont play too many high intensity games on my computer but i do render with vegas and will stream here and there

I bought a 1070 (pny) and slapped it in for a week mined well for a week and made 20$ in bitcoin but couple days ago it started
crashing my computer and said it was a faulty psu(bought a new one it wasnt) so i figured ill just upgrade my computer since its been 6+ years.
so looking for recommendations ill most likely return the pny 1070 and get a founders edition?

Current PC

i7-2600 3.4 ghz
16.0GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz
P8B75-M mobo
660 ti/1070 pny
600w bronze psu

If i upgrade would like to stay under 400-600$ (i have 400$ in gpu already)
ideally i would like to be able to render my videos, stream when needed, and possibly mine while browsing on my computer
possibly potential to run 2+ Gpu too
ty
