Whats the absolute worst purchase you have ever made?

[Spoonfull]

Title says it all. Whats the worst? For me, Im split between

 

Buying a CX600w for a GTX 770 + i5 system (No overclocking)

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2  on Steam for 6 dollars. Even at a sub 10 dollar price point, the game is not worth it. ITS THAT BAD.

[LegacyStijncat]

RAZER HEADSET

NEVER BUY RAZER

[0ld_Chicken]

buying a raidmax psu

[EarthboundHero]

Assassin's Creed 2 on PC. Only game I've Steam refunded so far. It's awful on PC. Great game, awful port.

[theKumba]

Buying the Windows 8.0 upgrade as soon as it was released is pretty far up my list.

[arronleeds]

astro a40s, piece of shit, poorly made and sound crap.

[Fulgrim]

Buying early access games on Steam, like DayZ.

worked out didn't it ?

[doublehelix]

turtle beach headset.

Even if you need a mic go for regular headphones + an external mouse

[Ellis_D]

Probably a Gigabyte Force M9 Ice wireless mouse.  That thing had a horrible sensor to begin with but the sensor itself was also placed in a really terrible spot on the underside of the mouse so I'd have to make huge, sweeping gestures just to produce small mouse movements that would register.

getting dark siders 2 thinking it was dark souls

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Jonnyboy]

im ashamed to admit, i bought cod ghosts.  i gave up on cod after that

[spartaman64]

turtle beach headset.

you mean external mic

[dukethedj]

Not exactly a purchase, but I overclocked a Phenom 840 to 4.5 GHz. Worst mistake ever.

[doublehelix]

you mean external mic

yea

[theKumba]

worked out didn't it ?

If you mean 2 years later, then I guess it did acutally work out.

lol i family shared with a friend and played that and it took 3 mins to get into a game. then a guy keeps killing me and i finally sneaked up behind him and unloaded all of my 30 bullets into his back and he didnt die and killed me with one shot from a pistol

[ELSknutson]

A 2012 Chevy Triverse So glad I got rid of it =) much happyer with the ML350 

[niofalpha]

CoD games.

Assassin's Creed 2 on PC. Only game I've Steam refunded so far. It's awful on PC. Great game, awful port.

IIRC, Ass Creed 2 on PC was surprisingly optimized compared to the first one.  From what I remember, I was able to run it at 1080p and 8xAA with 60fps whereas AssCreed 1 would struggle for 30fps at 1080p and AA wasn't even allowed by the engine.

[Jlryan]

Pre-ordered Battlefield 1943, but then they cancelled it and I never got my money back.

[spartaman64]

yea

i have a hyper x cloud and i have to say im satisfied with it

My 280 kept dropping frams like Batman: Arkham Knight. I had to mod it for contrloller support. And wasn't it locked at 30FPS?
