aww your pc owns my pc :'(

 

looks good though suri ^.^ I've had 2 EVGA fans burn out on me so i'd go with xfx. They have a lifetime warranty I think, and I read on reviews of xfx that their cards come stock oc'd so that would be good as well :d

I have had 2 different XFX cards now.. and they do have lifetime warranties which comes in handy.

 

As for the system - Looks good.. it'll be a month or two and I'll be buying myself a new one. You'll have to tell me how it turns out.

I'm in the same boat Suri. My XPS Laptop was once uber, but not uber enough for the new games out today.

 

Check out this build. Thanks to Zero001 for this build list, no case or hd though.

Oh wow Red thanks. I might use your build. If no one knows Red and I have the same Laptop. I went to a site the other day that tells you if you can run a game. And man did it EPIC FAIL!! :)

 

Is it good to do a Mobo/CPU combo? I want to make sure i build something that will last a few years, but not brake my bank account.

 

There is a Computer place next door to where i work. You can not buy from them unless you have a account with them and you must be a company. Well The company i work for has an account with them. So i am going to take that list and see if they have it. And if they do i can get it cheaper and no shipping:) Lets hope They have what I need.

 

I also still need to sell my DS. Only have 300 bucks right now to buy stuff.

You know what sucks.

 

If this Pc is going to run me about $700, and i sold my 360 for $300, and asking about $110 for my DS. That will leave me about $300 bucks to make up.

 

And i only have 2 things left i could sell. My old 20gig 4thgen Ipod. ( Not sure what i could get for that) OR my brand new 18gig iPod Touch that i love. I paid $400 for it.

 

We are getting that extra tax money of about $1500, but that has to go to pay the Bill for having our Child. Man it sucks to grow up and not have money for cool stuff you want. :(

Welcome to the real world..

Unfortunately kids will just keep getting more expensive the older they get.

Why do you think I'm still gaming on a 4 year old rig. :blushing:

suddenly a swingset is more important than a new video card..

 

Good luck working out the funds to cover the rest of the new PC. I'm in the process of selling one of my motorcycles to pay for a new gaming rig and to finish my basement.. sometimes we gotta make sacrifices.
