My advice would be grow your channel and seek out ad revenue. Then put all your earnings back into your hobby. Once you get a big enough following, you can try to convince people to invest in by donating. You can also approach manufactures for samples to plug on your channel.
Good luck.

Thanks and while he may have been right and i slightly overreacted, i still have no income(youtube doesn't let 18yo> monetize), and with no good or wide variety of games to play on Mac(besides OOTP of course), i won't have the generalized audience Im really looking for, instead becoming one of those channels that just plays FPS, or just RPGs for example. I assessed my options, including asking parents for it as a bday gift(didn't work), and I came to conclusion that crowd funding would be an effective way to raise the cash necessary for the computer. If you have another way to do this, I would love to hear it though, as Im not the best at raising cash(evidence above)
