What is the cheapest way to stream from a switch?
The most
affordable
route would be to film and stream it from your phone...
If you'd prefer to use a capture card (I wouldn't blame you) even a very affordable pc should be able to do the job just fine, I don't see why you should buy one specifically for this (unless you don't own a pc).
Fair enough, then almost anything works as long as it has a USB port for an external capture card. I usually suggest making your own desktop, but if you're not sure, you can search for one that's ready-made. I wouldn't purchase any new item without 8GB RAM, a quad-core processor, and an SSD.
Here’s what I’d choose:
