Where to start with streaming

Audio first. Viewers leave because of bad sound, not bad video. A USB microphone is the highest-impact first purchase.
Microphone pattern. A cardioid pattern picks up your voice and rejects room noise - exactly what a streamer needs.
Capture card. Needed when the source is a console or a second PC. Check the supported resolution and frame rate.
Control deck. A button panel switches scenes and triggers effects without alt-tabbing out of the game.
Light and camera. Even a simple webcam looks far better with proper lighting.

Frequently asked questions

Is a USB microphone enough? For streaming and calls, absolutely - XLR and an interface only pay off for music recording.

When do I need a capture card? When the source is a console or a separate PC; a single-PC setup only needs software.
