Hello Everyone

[koal7]

Hey I'm just getting going in the computer world. A good friend gave me an older rig and i have been getting parts here and there to get it up and running again. Once i get the cash for a decent GPU it should be a nice little gamer.

I got turned in here from TTL's youtube reviews and have gotten completely addicted.

Once i get some cable management done i'll post pictures of my rig which i have currently spent $3 on, not bad for something running better than my (while granted it's a little outdated) $1800 laptop.

ebay bro 4850's selling for 30-45$ and hello

The way my job works right now i'm getting money in spurts so in a few weeks i'll be able to throw something in the 6950 7870 range in there. Until then the little card i have will suffice, thanks for the heads up though i'll give it a look.

Hey bro, im new to this game and forum to but its proving highly addictive, even

if it is becoming a little expensive

Thats the components, not the forum lol

I paid £150 for my 6950 2weeks ago and its awesome, i had a 6670 before that

and i wish now i had just bought the 6950 straight off saving myself the cost of

the 6670 which was no good for gaming, especially running games on anything

above low/medium settings. But at the time i didn't realise how wrapped up i was

going to get in all this.

anyway, get those cables sorted, and take some pics of your rig, cables and all

I love cable management pics

sad but true

Welcome to the forums mate. Why not sell that POS (just kidding

) laptop and buy yourself a nice shiny new rig

Welcome to

A 7870 sounds very nice. Personally i stay away from E-bay since there are to many scams

Thanks to all the well wishers, everyone is making me feel very welcome here. As soon as i get my cable ties back from my friends car where i left them, i'll take some cable management pictures to let you guys see the rig.

I agree that Ebay has some scams but also some good deals mixed in, if it's an exceptional deal and the seller's feedback seems legit i'll go for it but otherwise i'll by new gear.
