    That seems like a great idea. I might have to try that, if the tutor actually lets me use the notebook.
     
    Then i guess the positions i applied for didn't have enough space.

    I tried that, i got rejected due to them not having a licence to hire people under 18.  thanks for the suggestion though

    Hi, 
    I currently study IT at college at level 3 in the UK, although i'm finding it incredibly easy to the point where i hardly turn up because if i do i just sit there twiddling my thumbs half the time. 
    I like to think i'm very good hardware (computing wise having built my own computer with experiance of troubleshooting and repairs as well as recovering my computer from a driver issue where during windows loading the computer crashes and restarts again.) and fairly skilled on the software side too (with experience on most of microsofts software (Office, windows etc) quite a fair few of 3rd party applications), although i have been applying for apprenticeships for around a year now and rarely hear back from any of them and when i do i never hear back after an interview.
    I am currently in a position where i don't know what else to try anymore, a friend suggested asking around if anyone has computers that need repairs so i posted on Facebook about repairing laptops for cheap (as in just the cost of the screen of a laptop or other parts for simple repairs along those lines if no parts required i would repair it free of any charges.) just as something to pass the time and get some more experience, but no one took me up on it.
    I feel applying for a job at this age in IT would be a waste of time since they want people with actual work experience.
    So here i am posting on a forum about tech in the hopes someone has been in my position and managed to find a way out. 
    Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    well i cant say for prices changing around that but i can say the i7 5820k is £50 more. (the 4790k is £250 and the 5820k is £300 give or take) 
    as well as me having to look for a whole different motherboard and x99 motherboards are very expensive find either a M.2 adapter or a pcie SSD on top it will cost me more as well as being very fiddly

    well then i might as well just get a pcie SSD lol... i'll just live without SLI for now and maybe get a new motherboard, graphics card and processor later down the line
    but thanks for all the help
