I just got a new front dash, a bunch of fans and a new corsair RM 850 (for future proofing), next on the list is my next project car then a GTX 980 (I did have a 970 on order but canned it cause I hate waiting and need the new car).

 

 

 

 

Problem with being a car guy and a member of the PC master race, prioritizing money outlay. 

MISS HOVER, I ATE MY GLUE!!!!

Drivers license and a Car. Some old Volvo station would be awesome. But work is hard to find when your 17 years old... Got a job at the moment, but need more of the moneys.

A life...

I'm saving just to save. I'm mid 20's with my own house and girlfriend about to move in with me. I did all my partying in my early 20's and am now ready for the next stage in my life. Nice cars, big TV's and one hell of a 401K plan. I have to now prioritize my spending or else I'll burn through it way to fast. So in general I just save a constant 20% of my paychecks then split that up and put it in multiple accounts. one for every so often spending and another one that I won't ever touch unless i'm flat broke or want to buy another house,car, etc.

CPU: 3570K @ 4.3Ghz MOBO: ASUS P8z77-v Deluxe RAM: 2-4GB Gskill GPU: EVGA 670 FTW SSD: Vertex 4 256 Case: CM HAF 932
