Do you need the best equipment to start a YouTube gaming channel?

Let's say I want to start a YouTube gaming channel in which I upload Minecraft most of all, and other PC games.

Do I need like a gaming PC that can run Minecraft shaders at more than 30 fps with max graphics, I professional mic like a Blue Yeti or a Blue Snowball, and stuff like that?

Yea cause some people will want HQ video quality so more views

Nope.

Nope, unless you're some elite YouTube "personality" who seems to think more expensive equipment makes you a better person.
