This is the setup I currently use to go live using GeForce Now on my Mac! If you can afford the Mac Mini, I've included a few other cost-effective options that you can use to power your live stream. (Note: I do not stream with a camera, so I did not include one!)

Gameplay
All the tools I need for my gameplay.
Still a great pic for controller gameplay, even on your computer!
Xbox Wireless Controller
GeForce Now gives me so many gaming options on Mac! $99/6 months gives you access to the equivalent of a 4080 graphics card for much lower costs. All that you need is a relatively fast internet connection (~75M)
NVIDIA GeForce NOW
I love my Razer mouse! Extremely tactile and responsive.
Razer DeathAdder Essential
My current keyboard! I will eventually get one with arrow keys :)
Glorious GMMK White Ice Compact (Pre-Built)

All the tools I need to manage my A/V setup.
This is the headset I use on stream! It is extremely reliable, captures enough audio, and is very affordable.

Been my monitor for going on 5 years and has never failed me!

Big fan of this as my vertical monitor!

This is intended to be a laptop dock, but I've used it for my peripherals with no issue!

All the tools I need to manage chat.

Moobot is a great moderation bot!
Moobot
My favorite chatbot! Custom commands and Discord integration are a must.
Nightbot
A useful addition to your chat experience! The chatbot is a must, and custom overlays they provide are useful as well.

Another great moderation bot! The additional !clip command is also a huge value add.

If you want sound redeems, there is no better tool out there!
