I almost quoted you age but changed it before I posted. But yes in AUS if you play your cards right you can do very well. USA where I live I am lucky, but other places not so much...

Not everyone is as young as you and makes enough money in the armed forced to support a full family :(

So I have recently upgraded my PC, and I have a Gigabyte Z68 board (gotta fix the bent pins), a 120GB SSD from OCZ, an XFX 6770 brand new, but replaced the thermal compound and it runs like a dream, and a Cooler Master GX 650W PSU. I am not including the cost of these as some of them are over 2 years old and they've been costed out. So I am gonna build a PC off of this: CPU (Depending on what the person wants could be a G860 or I7-2600) 2x4GB DDR3 ram 1TB HD Probably a cheaper case like an Antec 4000 DVD-RW If they chose a G860 I will charge 475 OBO, I3 will be 500 obo, I5 will be 550 obo, and I7 will be 650 obo. I added up what all the parts cost new and they cost about 200 more than all these prices and I have a little room to move about 50 bucks. Plus I will install and activate windows and make restore disks as well. I think these prices are fair wouldn't you?

Most things in Aus is VERY cheap compared to USA but idk about water cooling.

Congratz on becoming a mod btw

My I7-2600k hits 100% load and around 70*C when renderings. It's a safe temp as long as it's not 24/7, I mean anything under 80*C is fine for general load just not for 24/7.

I think i'll just contact riot and let them handle it.

That is a fail pic... LMAO

Thats the error for updating the bios. The bios is VERY basic and wont let u change anything. Problem is, I want DUAL channel as it will DOUBLE my video performance.

Sorry, I have an Acer Aspire V3-551-8887

See what I mean?

Bios is very basic and won't allow ANY changes. I tried updating the bios and it says not compatible.... no idea why, updated version.

Problem is, APU's run off of the memory and having a single chip means I lose almost HALF my video performance.

If I am reading this correctly, the best ram I can actually use is 1600MHz? I am running a single 4GB stick @ 1333MHz, which because it's single channel I lose HALF the bandwidth... Thinking about going 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz.

Welfare healthcare is free, government healthcare is EXPENSIVE. But on topic, we still think its the flu despite lack of vomiting (Thank you nightly meds) and diarrhea. Sweating usually means I am kicking it

ALL of this started before I took any meds.

Gotta see if any take my insurance.

Only meds I took before I got sick was 1 800mg ibuprofen and my antacid. That ibuprofen is 1 pill that I take for headaches and pains when I have them.

The only meds I take daily are my antacid. The ibuprofen is 1 pill. 800MG.

I did take ibuprofen before I went to bed but that was because I was feeling all this come on. I did take it a few times a week for headaches and stuff.

At the time, only my antacid medicine but I've consumed alcohol with that many times, rather I drank earlier than day and took it at night. Ocean City Maryland. Don't have any doctor offices nor do I have the money to go to the ER.

I am a 23 year old guy, 5'9" 235 (still dropping). and 2 nights ago I was feeling sick. Now I've been sick a better part of my life, but thats sinus related. Also had my appendix taken out 3 years ago as well. List ofo meds I am on atm to combat said illness: Strong antacid to combat my nightly sickness (Been taking for a year now) Medicine I took AFTER I got sick 800mg Ibuprofen twice a day (they are 800mg tablets I usually take for aches and headaches) 875mg Amoxocilin twice a day 2 200MG of Some sinus stuff And some perk (Pain kills) as well I woke up with back and side pains, a severely high fever and stomach pains. I have difficulty walking after sitting for awhile, I am not urinating very often, and my mouth is always dry. I usually consume a TON of liquids daily but it's down quite a bit. Urinating doesn't seem painful, but it's not extremely pleasant either. I am on vacation atm so no medical help. 2 things to note: The day before I got sick I was in the Ocean and I consumed quite a bit of alcohol, more than usual. I am a very random drinker, I'll go weeks/months w/o drinking and then kick 5 beers in 1 sitting. These drinks included 2 30oz rum buckets and 1 20oz Pina colada. Any idea? EDIT: I now broke out into a sweat randomly and it's 73*F in here. However I am drinking alot of water right now and see if it was dehydration.

My point is you need to look at more than just cost translation. I did a 6 hour in-depth analysis on AUS. You say we have it better than most, but do we? Sure we have it better than many countries, but most first world countries you have to look at more than just the surface,

I actually just did a whole analysis on average AUS outside of the city vs the suburbs here. Minimum wage is about 16.88 USD vs 7.25 which is about 2.33 times our wage, but the AVERAGE cost of living is 1.51 times more than ours. You think we don't pay taxes. You'd be lucky to see HALF your paycheck here if you lucky. Let's break down my dads weekly check: Last check 3,088 Less 350 a paycheck for healthcare (we have GREAT healthcare, most companies don't offer this great of level for this price) =2,738 Income tax (22%): 684.50 Local tax (1.5%): 41.07 SSI (6.2%) Double if self employed:169.76 Medicare (1.45%) Double if self employed:39.71 401K (3%) we have to put in unlike most countries: 82.14 Occupational tax (2%): 54.76 State Tax (5%) PA: 136.9 Country Tax (7%): 191.66 Total taken out of his paycheck: 1,403+350=1753 3088-1753=1335/3088= 43.23% of his paycheck he keeps, ASSUMING he isn't self employed. Sorry Ixi, your point is invalid, you guys have VAT and free healthcare (If u choose), we don't get it unless u make like 20k or less a year. Healthcare through our government if u make more than 20k is 857/month and 1455 for anything over 40k a year PER PERSON. Also factor in our 10% unemployment rate, the average wage in our country is below 10/hr, I believe it was 9,82/hr last time I checked. A 1 bedroom apartment in the ghetto will run 350-400+utilities. I live in the suburbs (away from the city) and a decent 2 bedroom apartment is 800-900+utilities, but that's rather small. We don't have it NEARLY as good as others think.

Ya I don't wanna ruin his life but he was soo toxic idk...
