New to streaming and new to the OBS forums so needed some help. I am looking at purchasing a new home configuration for streaming both my Xbox One and PS4. Since the in-built Twitch apps are extremely restrictive in what you can do, I've gone the route of the Elgato HD60.
Capturing footage is amazing and works flawlessly, which is great. However my current set-up is ridiculous when it comes to streaming, cannot handle it. I've been looking at possibly purchasing a Mac Mini to assist with streaming, however not too sure what to get.
Now the Elgato/OBS website states I need at least a 2nd Gen i7 for streaming, if I were to purchase a Mac Mini with a 4th Gen i5 2.6Ghz and Iris Pro would that suffice for streaming console games? I know that OBS have released a Mac version which works but there is no direct support for the HD with OBS apart from third party tinkering.
Has anyone successfully gotten the HD60 to work with OBS on a Mac w/ Yosemite and if so, what spec would your Mac be to run a stable stream at at least 720p (As I have the internet capable of doing so?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if this isn't the right thread, please direct me to where I need to go.
Thanks!

Anyway I have an Elgato Game Capture HD I use to record and stream and I also have a Macbook. I am using the elgato game Capture software. I've only streamed once so far and it though it took a couple of attempts it seemed to work flawlessly. But now in trying to stream to YouTube today I'm just seeing the stream button try to load indefinitely.
