|
yeah that's all compatible :)
AMD and ATI weeeeeeeeee |
cool cool. now for a master plan of persuasion for my parents. got any websites for that up yer sleeeve, steve?!
|
only place i shop > http://www.overclockers.co.uk
|
do they sell courage?! lol
|
tell em you can do your homework faster on it ;)
|
hehe bosting excuse. another question for yer. is it possible to buy it in bits, the package i mean? that way i could spend £300 in total, but in short "bursts" as it were? or must they all be installed at the same time for my pc to still work?
|
looks like it would all have to be together :/
it is quite outdated unfortunatley :( |
Lol, tell them it is a good deal pc's are actually pretty affoardable right now, the key is to not go for all of the "top of the line" things, just get a decent computer that runs. "Top of the line" really means "I am going to be outdated in about 3 months" :D
|
yer i no, said aint it. spose i could buy and collect until i had all the parts.... or cash.... seeing as i dont have a credit card ro cheque book ,lol
|
i just did a £300 upgrade here without actually having the money :/ but i only ended up with RAM/mobo/CPU
and after that im still working with a gfx card that gives me a pink screen of death every time i play games and a power supply that has burn marks on the plastic around the pins :O |
I wasted the money I was going to use to buy a car on my computer I was almost tempted to do it again but I think a car is more important ;)
|
o dear, lol. im selling my drum kit for £275 or thereabouts, and my bday is in july = game+ roughly£100 ...... just the persuasionplan needssoem work
|
|
Cool I am so excited I am getting my first car in about a month wahoo!
|
wicked awesome mate =D good luck
|
Thanks I am going to need it, I am going to be soo pissed if I get a lemon!

sorted, it takes me down to about £260 . the cheaper i can find stuff, the better = more chance of persuading parents :P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P
|
ok guys. looks like i have persuaded them. a liol bit of "ill do ym chores" and "it gets rid of keyloggers" works a treat. although, it will be the summer holidays before i get it, as the deal is, i help build my conservatory, and network my other 2 pc's together. then they will get the gear for me...ROLL ON JULY!!!!!
