i may be able to spread to 300,i take it all these work together? im not really sure but m8s r onna bout sickets a's n stuff have to be with some other peiece of junk to make it work?!

[Steve]

yeah that's all compatible
AMD and ATI weeeeeeeeee

[Necrosis]

cool cool. now for a master plan of persuasion for my parents. got any websites for that up yer sleeeve, steve?!

[Steve]

only place i shop > http://www.overclockers.co.uk

[Necrosis]

do they sell courage?! lol

[Steve]

tell em you can do your homework faster on it

[Necrosis]

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?

[Steve]

looks like it would all have to be together :/
it is quite outdated unfortunatley

[atholon]

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 "Top of the line" really means "I am going to be outdated in about 3 months"

[Necrosis]

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

[Steve]

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

[atholon]

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

[Necrosis]

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

[Necrosis]

click me for better deal on gfx card

hehe found the 256 nfor roughly £40 cheaper....
