You should use the laptop since your system is older. If you had a newer Nvidia GPU you could use NVENC which would off load the cpu intensive work to the GPU and probably get away with using the same system.

Seriously, you may need another machine to do the recording. Didn't test the game capture with OBS on the same pc yet?

He can plug in a monitor,even the same one he already uses, to the motherboard to activate the iGPU of the 6500 which will be able to easily handle 1080/60 recording.the encoder is called QSV in OBS.
