Years and years ago I bought a PSP (playstation portable) while working in a remote North-western Canadian location. It was an impulse purchase because remote work gets boring.

 

Yeah... worst purchase ever. mini-disc media, horrible analog stick positions... just an all around awkward hand-held device. Still regret buying it to this day.

Doesn't overclock that great, it's butt ass ugly, etc.

 

Also, It's a 970 and I could have waited a gotten a f**king 980 with my tax return.

H80i. Noisy and overpriced, offered very poor performance compared to a £30 air cooler.

 

Best Purchase was your A8 5600K right?

I bought one too, I was working 80 hour weeks one summer and figured it would be fun to play in breaks and while riding the bus to and from work. 3D games on a tiny screen suck, I ended up rooting the thing and installing an NES emulator on it since those games work so much better on a small screen. Wish I would have bought the DS instead, that system was awesome. Worst of all the screen on the PSP was super glossy, so I couldn't play it while sitting at the bus stop. I ended up just giving it to my brother, and he got sick of it and sold it a month or two later.

Why the i5 over the FX-8350?

FX-8350 (if I had gotten the i5-3570k, I would be running 2x GTX 780s instead of a single 970)

ASUS M5A99FX (was a replacement, wish I never bought it)

be quiet! Dark Rock 3 (I love it, but I realized I could have ordered a new Intel bracket for my H100i, because I lost mine)

MSI Z97 PC Mate (really wish I got the SLI Krait now)

Whatever ASUS laptop I currently have (should have waited to grab a UX305)

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

The M5A99FX is a good motherboard...

An Xbox One. I'm fine with the PS4, and the kids like the Xbone... but I wish that it was never bought.

When I bought a Harley Davidson 883 Hugger. That thing was gutless and too quiet with stock pipes.

On the other hand, the thing I regret selling was my Harley Davidson fxd to prepare for buying a house. The wife left only a few months later and I missed the bike.

It's always a good day if you woke up breathing.
