HELP | Does My Laptop Matter For OBS If I'm Using My PS4/Monitor?

Hi everyone!

I'm in the process of kickstarting my YouTube channel and I'm trying to get the appropriate equipment without doing too much. I plan to record my gameplay on OBS, using a capture card that is connected to a monitor and my PS4. I tried to run OBS and record on my MacBook Air, but from the many forums I've read about Macs x OBS, you ALREADY know it was tragic. I'm planning on purchasing a PC to run OBS, record, and edit my videos, and I was thinking about getting the
HP - Victus 16.1" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - 256GB SSD. It's $900, which is fine, but want to make sure this is even necessary or if I could get a cheaper/simpler laptop to accomplish my tasks!

I'm struggling and I really appreciate everyone who comments to help me out :)
