Create something cool and fund it using kickstarter? Though it's hard to offer advice without knowing your skillset, what are you good at? :)

I'm good with computers, in general. I know very basic stuff about programming which doesn't really count.

I see fake/scam kickstarters all the time and I don't think I can create something good enough so people don't see it like that.

You should learn to code, it's free and you can code with any computer.

Do you really really need a new gaming computer?

well for gaming and running modern apps without any trouble, yes. I'm learning java but this is probably going to take more than 2 years to have enough skills to earn with it.

I honestly can not even browse properly with this system. Heck, it only knows multitasking in theory. I'm a big-time gamer and knowing to have missed all of those great games I wanted to play over the years hurts.
