My ssd failed a couple of months ago and as a student I've not been able to afford a new one. This would be a lovely belated valentines present <3

Hello and Welcome to my (second) blog!! My name is Adam, 18, and I am a first year student in a UK university studying Games Computing (MComp). I would like to introduce myself in this post and tell you all what tech I own, how I use it, and my plans for this Blog. Firstly, I would like to point out that this is not my only blog. I have another on wordpress however I keep that as more of a diary of thoughts and life stuff. If you wish to get to know how I think you can try to find it (but really I only tend to post there when I'm feeling down) but if not then just stay tuned here as this is a place for all things technology related. Next I will list the sort of tech that I own, then my PC specs, and finally my PC peripherals: - Nexus 5 - My most used gadget unsurprisingly (Apart from my PC) and is to date, in my opinion, the best mobile that I could want. - 6th Gen Ipod Nano - Given to me for my 16th birthday present but is no longer used since I bought my Nexus. - Ipad Air - Given to me for my 18th birthday present and I use it a lot when not near my PC. (DISCLAIMER: I will try my best not to talk a lot about Apple products as I do not like the company as a whole and I do not wish to start arguments with people who big Apple supporters.) - PC Spec - Originally bought a custom PC from a company called Vibox and since then I have upgraded it so that the only original components are my CPU, (and heatsink and fan), C: drive HDD, and RAM. AMD Bulldozer FX-4100 Quad-core clocked at 3.8GHz ASUS CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z motherboard 16GB (2x8) DDR3 1333MHz RAM Corsair RM850 Fully Modular PSU ASUS Radeon R9 290 4GB DDR5 GPU Seagate 1TB 3.5" HDD (C:) WD 2TB Black 3.5" HDD (D:) TP-Link 450Mbps Wireless N Dual Band PCI Express Adapter Windows 8.1 Home OS - ROCCAT KONE XTD wired mouse - ROCCAT ISKU Illuminated Gaming Keyboard - SENNHEISER PC 330 G4ME Headset - iiyama ProLite E2607WS 26" 1920x1200 Monitor - Blue Snowball Ice Desktop Microphone - Logitech C920 HD Webcam - Oculus Rift DK2 So as you can see there is a long list and I'm sure to a few readers one item may stand out. If this is the Rift DK2 I will be talking about VR a lot in this blog ans I have other VR devices on their way to be which I will get to test out. I have a general knowledge in C and C++ programming and I have a little experience in using C# with Unity and with my aims in life set towards a career in the games development industry I hope to explore more into the possibilities of truly immersive VR experiences. I also have a YouTube channel HERE which up to now has mostly been simple gameplay videos but that may change in the future. I have a twitter account HERE and if for some reason you would like to contact me directly my email is adamlinscott@aol.com.

<3 I Chose my new motherboard and case after browsing your vids! And They're very entertaining I didn't realise you had this forum but It seems like a great place to discuss and ask advice about components since the YouTube comments can often be too hectic to to get coherent answers. Keep up the great work!
