As others have said, depends on what you want from it. It's not going to be easy to gain a significant following. If you only want to do it as a hobby and have no plans to make money from it, just go for it. You can stream with just obs and a decent microphone. If you want to stream and chat with some people, you will likely be able to do that without too much trouble. It's not super hard to get a person or two to stop by and talk a bit if you're streaming semi-regularly.
