Trying to do my bit for LTT

[Virmathious]

So I have been looking at building my self a nice little SFF pc from a Dell OptiPlex to use with my TV for some local multiplayer games and so my girlfriend can play the sims at something better than sub 20 fps.

Found one on eBay the other day for a really good price, brought it and it arrived a few days ago. Good stuff.

 

Now obviously I'm going to need a Graphics card, so I went with the slim MSI GTX 1050Ti.

I was watching an LTT video and as always there is a reminder about that amazon affiliate links and all that jazz. So I thought lets try this, clicked the link ordered my card paid for it and left it for a few days, paid for express shipping as we always want our new toys ASAP.

 

Anyway it seemed to be taking a while to arrive, so I thought I would check my emails and see what was going on.

Well. It turns out that this idiot right here has unintentionally ordered my card from Amazon Canada (I live in the UK)

looks like its too far gone now to change this so I thought fuck it, ill just wait. 

 

Just thought I would share my stupidity while I wait for my card.

 

Feel free to share your stories to make me feel better

specs? 

[Virmathious]

I5 4590

8gb Ram

500 gb HDD

 

Nothing too fancy, was a good spec for £150 I thought as this model seems to go for around £200.

 

I'm just looking forward to having my mates round and playing some crawl and lovers an dangerous space on the big screen as apposed to being crowed around my desk.
