What do I need to use OBS, and start recording/livestreaming?

[CarlosX360]

Okay, so at the moment, I am currently recording videos using a Galaxy S9+. I am looking to livestream, and I have livestreamed before, but it was via PlayStation 4.

What do I need to understand at this point - is WHAT do I need spec-wise to get at least 1080p recording/livestreams? That includes installing OBS. I KNOW OBS is the livestreaming/recording sotware that medium-to-large livestreamers use. So, my first question is WHAT equipment is required to actually run OBS, and begin livestreaming?

What internet speed do I need for livestreams? Please hit me hard with hard truths, hard feedback.

I am currently picking out my livestreaming camera as I type this, so that is ready.

Do I need elgato for recording? Do I need this and that for livestreaming? Hit. me. hard.

This is the wrong forum for this post. So you may not get any other responses
Please pick the Operating System you'd most likely use (Windows, MacOS, or Linux) and post your question to that associated forum.
And realize, you have NOT specified sufficiently your expectations to answer your question. A simplistic 1080p30 stream can be done on older hardware. Are you talking about gaming and streaming on same system?
do you think you want to get into chromakeying (green screen), fancy (or browser based) overlays, noise reduction, etc... CPU demands can go up a LOT. so, anywhere fron an old 5+yr gaming laptop to a $5-10K workstation... it depends
