Would it be okay if I use some patreon money to upgrade PC?

I was wondering if it is okay to use the patreon money to upgrade my PC? I have only almost used the patreon money to pay for the bills and medicine and to hire people to help me with making content. Everything else has been from my own money I earned by doing commissions and voice over work.
But now, it seems that my PC is starting to go wonky to the point where I am getting blue screen everytime I would try to record or render a song, costing me alot of progress and work, corrupting my saves too! And whenever a song successfully renders, it is missing alot of the instruments I put into it!
So I thought maybe now would be a good time to upgrade! Maybe to a really good PC where I would not need to open the case up to mess around with the thingies once I have completed building it!
But unfortunately, the money I earn from my own work is not enough to build a good enough PC to render some songs. I am not aiming for those big flashy PCs that you see everywhere! I just want a PC that will get me by and where I would not need to upgrade for a while. Where it would be safe once I close to the case and I would only open it up if it is time to clean.
The only thing I need to replace is the CPU, motherboard, and memory. 16gb of DDR4 RAM costs 10,000 pesos here. The CPU that is recommended by FL Studio costs 27,000 pesos but it is included with a motherboard already! It is a Ryzen 7 2700 with a Gigabyte aorus motherboard. The ram is a GSkill thingy. @~@ I am not so good with all these technical bits.
The Corsair power supply I have is still good and so is my video card and my hard drives and my case! So I do not need to replace those!
I was hoping by next month, I would be able to finally upgrade using some of the patreon money. That is, if you guys will allow me to. If not, then I will save up my commission money and continue working as usual until I have saved enough!
I just do not want to spend the money you guys have entrusted to me. The money is supposed to be making for content, afterall. And it is wrong to use it without asking for permission!
But yeah, I would like to know your thoughts about this!
