Should I try, fight or give up and waste my potential?

I had a plan to start streaming during the summer vacation. I plan to get 3 monitors, a gaming PC and keyboard / mouse / headset and possibly a gaming table with a budget of 2000 euro. I haven't gambled in a while and why not start streaming? Think I can sell myself well, not just play one-sided and would then also stream on Facebook / Twitch / YouTube at the same time. For all of this I have set up a 450 euro job for 2 months and I'm very good at it and I also plan to continue working during my school-leaving exams because I'm really motivated and my life has changed completely because I no longer have any money I'm dependent on parents. I will set up all the streaming setup in the basement, where it is currently littered. In the basement we have 2 large rooms and 1 toilet. Will clean everything up, clean it up and then use it… The problem is, however, that my father is very aggressive in such matters and only wants the safe way. Means he wants me to just go to school. Then study dual… I want to do an apprenticeship. Well, I just have a lot of free time because I can't work every free hour, otherwise I will exceed 450 euro and even if my high school starts soon, I will have 2-3 hours completely free every day. At the weekend even complete. My father believes that you can go broke at any time as a Youtuber. He doesn't understand that I just want to use my free time sensibly. What do I get from watching netflix how he does it? Who knows, maybe I can achieve something over the next few years… Just something that makes me proud. I like to talk in front of the camera and I really feel like tearing something. When my father finds out what I'm up to, he makes me cold. However, he works Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. To 5 p.m. And then he takes my brother away from 6 p.m. To 8 p.m. 3 times a week and every other weekend my father is at my brother's tournament which is in other cities. I think I should still try and stream in times when he is not there etc. The basement has been a bucket for 8 years and all because my father was too lazy to use the basement somehow. And for school I want to learn better soon and since I will have to do projects etc. That would be ideal with 3 monitors and the calm.

Give it up, you are more likely to win the lottery.

:( then in my free time I'm just on my cell phone and wasting my time on Facebook Instagram etc… Unfortunately I can't work every day…

Good idea but start small with a monitor and a tablet or a laptop if you already have one. You can upgrade bit by bit if it is klapo. I would first get a cheap mouse and keyboard and mouse pad and do without the gaming table and chair and just get a normal but comfortable office chair and a used desk… Tidying up is a suler idea and a PC can never hurt you…

Ps tell your father and get him ready this is your life!

Prefer to take two monitors (on one the game on the other OBS and chat) and don't overdo it you do not need three you also need a better pc for three monitors (rather invest the money in the pc which must have a lot of power for streaming ).

You will probably not become famous with it, but you will earn at least on enough money in 2-3 years that you will have the money safe in it again and, if you are lucky, even more.

If you're famous, let me know. And don't let anyone stop you

Pr

Well if the keyboard and mouse prefer something sensible and not expensive and a table is definitely the biggest waste of money take a large table or wooden plate and 2 trestles

Bl

Bro, thanks for the tips. I want to get the PC here. Had planned 3 24 inch monitors of which 2 have 60HZ and the monitor with which I play 244hz. Otherwise, as you said, 2 monitors. The PC: https://hardwarerat.de/...er=SW10132

I'd rather do everything secretly, and as soon as the success is there I'll show it to him! I need the stuff anyway because it will get serious at school soon.

Pr

There you chose a sensible pc!

244hz is not so sensible because you can achieve so many fps in a few games, prefer a 60 and a 120 is enough and look better if you invest a little more in for example a cheap facecam helps because more people watch your stream and send yours name if you pull it through it would like to have a look and be a little bit mod.

Better take one of the two are a bit better would recommend the second one! (Larger SSD and better graphics card and only 70 euro more expensive.

Bl

All right! Thank you! As soon as it starts I will let you know! Will definitely mod. Thanks for all your help bro. It will really start soon

Pr

Nice. If you buy a face cam it is best to get one from logitech that you can put directly on your monitor for 30-50euro

How does it actually look with a microphone and such

Bl

Alright, I'll do that. If I still do not have a school due to corona, I could possibly start with everything in 1 month and 1 week, since I will have 1600 euro. It is of course a big advantage if I start in 1 month and 1 week, because I could have a few followers by the summer vacation, but above all I can learn a lot about intro and designs etc. During this time. Would be really good if I learn something like this by summer.

Bl

I don't have a microphone etc. However, I have a large wooden table that I can use first. Do you think with 1670 euro I can:

Get gaming PC + 2 monitors + keyboard + headset + microphone + mouse + cam + gaming chair? Not everything has to be new, so good deals can also be found on amazon.

Pr

I would take normal headphones

Bl

All right. Do you think water cooling on the PC would make sense? Because the PC really wants it to be quiet for a long time.

Pr

I would recommend

Logitech HD Webcam C270

I have Trust GXT 242 Lance myself

Sharkoon Drakonia II

Logitech G213 gaming keyboard

the pc i sent

ACER Nitro QG241Y 23.8 inch Full-HD Gaming Monitor and there's again with 144hz

Pr

No, because it also has a fan and is only useful for overclocking
