I love Gaming, but it's my mum. As all parents do, they want you to do something with your life rather than sit on Xbox. That's why I want to show her that having a Gaming Career and a Small Job that I enjoy as well as Gaming can stack up a decent amount of money.

I play Competitive Cod, but I could be a Trickshotter aswell if I put my mind to it.
I'm not sure if it's worth the time, effort and if I'd make a Fraction of the Money back if I bought a PVR and a Laptop? What should I buy? Is it worth the Money? How would I get myself known?
Please any feed back would be helpful!

How good are you from a scale of 1/10?

At what? Competitive or as a Sniper? I've had a lot of experience as a Comp Player. Been a Leader of lots of Comp Teams, but I just think being a Trickshotter gets you more known?
I'm a Better Competitive Player than Sniper

Buy an Elgato HD Game Capture. I have one and it has great quality for gaming.

Thanks! What about a Laptop?

There are a lot of Dell laptops that work great with editing video and montages. I know Apple computers are able to have "Final Cut Pro" on them.

Here is a Dell laptop I found for you operated by Windows 8. You can scroll through lists of relatively cheap laptops on Dell.

This means a lot, thank you!

Yeah I suppose, thanks for your feedback

Playing cod you won't get much money at all. Getting big on League of Legends is where the money is currently at.

No problem mate! Glad I could help you get started!

Is it fun though? Never even heard of it!

I always thought of this as a career but when you get older you suddenly realize there is so more potential then being stuck behind a TV for hours there are better jobs out there but I wouldn't mind being a gamer for a job

It is bigger than Call for Money. It is Free 2 Play. It has more and larger tournaments. It also takes a lot more skill. I honestly think that both games suck but LoL is the bigger game right now and in a competitive scene there is more money but there is also more competition.
