Worth starting a brand-new Youtube channel!?

So, last time i posted a video on Youtube was back in 2012 when i had a partnership with MakerStudio and i was back in Italy carrying an Italian YT channel. Since then i was inactive for both lack of time and equipment which prevented me from growing. As a result i deleted the channel.

Now, I will be going to university next year and obviously time will be short and limited for me, however the want to make youtube videos did not go away and now that i have money to get my resources i was thinking will it pay off investing into it? I just need the capture card tbh but even that, it's £100.
I mean, yeah if i want to i can just start a new YT channel, but i have the fear that the channel will not grow, as i'm a gamer who plays a lot go games, but nothing 'new' or 'outside the box' stuff, at least another 200 people are doing it/will do. I mainly play FIFA and i do have series in mind for that, but i also can do walkthroughs of other games, but even that i don't know if it will be worth it as i guess now growing on YT is limited as people will want to follow the likes of RadBrad rather than me or KSI if you know what i mean.

I mean in terms of time, i can manage it and squeeze a video a day for the channel, that's not a problem, this question is more for the pros of youtube in this forum, knowing the current situation and difficulty in growing, do you think my investment of capture card will pay off if i start doing walkthroughs/FIFA videos on a daily basis? My general first aim will be to grow to at least 1k before wanting to get some money out of it, but yeah my end goal is to get some income out of it as for another 4-5 years i will be busy studying.

Advice, and general tips are highly appreciated as upon you guys i will make my decision if to invest or not. Be honest guys :D
 
I think YouTube would be great for you. If you still have that motivation and drive to create videos then I think you should purse it man! Never doubt yourself, because you never know what my come in the future. In terms of growing your channel I can tell you it will take time, but I stress this if you make quality content and do not go after big keywords on YouTube when you are just starting like "Fifa 15 Ultimate Team Gameplay" You will never rank for that as a channel that just started instead look for keywords that people do not use since you are a Fifa play incorporate maybe your favorite team, or better yet everyone does Ultimate Team and Career Mode, but hardely any does Virtual Pro you can make that a whole new Playlist "Merkin' With The Pro" or something like that and post tri-weekly videos of you and a couple of freinds beastin on virtual pro and if you have a PS4 I will be happy to play with you I want ranked #102 overall in the world in Fifa 14 as a virtual pro. I also have a YouTube channel with over 7k subscribers. Please ask me questions or send me messages from my YouTube inbox or twitter @SimpleTV101, because I do not log-in on YTTalk alot. Best of luck to you man!
 
Hey man, thank you very much for your feedback and i have to say i actually love the idea of 'Merkin' With The Pro' - might use it when i start the channel. Very motivational and this drives me more into getting back on making videos.. I will surely contact you for more infos and collabs if you don't mind.

Add me on PSN as i have a PS4 > DareToAkaz
 
While Im probably not the best person to ask since Ive taken a few too many breaks from youtube, i think you should keep going. If you enjoy making your videos and you have even one person that enjoys watching them thats enough.
 
If you want to make videos, make videos. Its super simple. As for growing, it takes time, effort and a lot of promoting (in a non-spammy way) but if making videos makes you happy then it won't matter anyway :)
