Added (1). I've been doing a lot of research on starting a youtube channel and i do have the equipment- however, my camera that i'll be using is the dslr d3100 and it doesn't have a flip screen. This youtube uses a software that came with her camera on her mac so that she can look at her laptop screen while filming instead at directly at her camera even though she has a flip screen.

To get a fully articulated LCD screen, you will have to buy one of the Nikon D5000 series digital SLR cameras.

You can visit the Nikon website to see which of them are available now, either new or refurbished if you want to save some money

What you seem to be talking about is called tethering and all the Nikon D5000, D5100, D5200, D5300 and D5500 can be tethered when using Adobe Lightroom CC.

Adobe Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC are the two most used software programs used by photographers and at around $10 per month, a real bargain (less than a trip to your local fast food restaurant and a some coffee from Starbucks once a month)

Just so you know, tethering may seem like a cool thing to do, but in practice it can slow down the creative flow since the huge files created by newer cameras (30 to 60 mb per file) can take a while to travel from the camera through the USB connection to the computer. Sometimes if I shoot more than one frame every two seconds, the camera stops letting me take photos while those huge RAW image files are written to my computer. If I try using a Wi-Fi connection, the problem is only exacerbated

If you need to see yourself in your video, either use the fully articulated LCD turned toward you or better use what is called a "field monitor". These have much larger screens and operate using the HDMI port on many cameras. HDMI supports more data, so will not slow down your workflow.

All five D5000 series cameras have HDMI ports

I have also linked you to other options when tethering cameras to a computer

You can use a tv as a monitor, this video shows it being done with a d3100, hdmi mini cable from the camera to full size hdmi to LCD TV, works in movie mode.
