I'm not sure if this is the place to post this or not (if it isn't the place please tell me where is.)

The local smash scene in my community is starting to pick up (project m and melee) and I want to start live streaming it. I have a 2010 MacBook Pro and it works pretty good (needs a new battery and ram upgrade [4GB currently]) and a portable mixing board. I know I will need a capture card, I'm leaning towards elgato based on what I've seen but anyways onto my main question.

I've had people tell me to buy another cheaper laptop for streaming and I've had others tell me to use an external hard drive with my Mac and I should be fine. What would you recommend?
