theloveablemoose

So this year is my 18th and my siblings and or parents have decided to get me something substantial im yet to decide as to what whut http://i.imgur.com/7kZ562z.jpg? to get. I've narrowed down a few choices into 3 which are:

An Xbox one to play with friends and my cousins

A upgrade for my pc CPU GPU or whatever

Or a new phone because my iPhone 4 is beginning to show it's age maybe a 5s or htc one idk 

But yeah any suggestions are welcome.

1. ...maybe... but the games are expensive af

2. nah, the platform is old, not worth it.

3. Best option IMO.

I would go with the CPU and GPU. But it depends on if you are interested in the Xbone (games and gaming with friends).

1. CPU, GPU

2. XBox One

3. Phone

I would say GPU upgrade. The 560 is probalby fine, but there's some pretty decent cards at a great price that'll give you a lot more power provided you have the monitor to utilze it.

1. Me and my cousin were probably going to share an account along our usual accounts that hosted a few GOD games that we split the money on which is what we did last gen.

2. Was thinking of switching platforms in that regard.

3 I do kinda want a new phone.

Such as?

As time flies,its something you will know  :)

 

(Random speculating)

Since you're unsure on which to get it also means the feeling of needing/wanting it isn't that high

so thats why i was saying save it and use it for something that you want want-ish want

It fairs ok its just the noise that bothers me.

It was more so i outlined either and they got me it but i guess budget is £300 maybe which would be a decent GPU 760? and a 4s or 5 but honeslty i dont feel like spending more money on my PC until i find a game that actually grasps my attention for more then 5 mins *cough cough GTA V cough cough*.

If i did go that route i probably wouldn't spend over a certain amount cause that would be dumb.

Not really, would be dumber to waste money on an xbox. Just my opinion. Could always buy an SSD or something.

prosti-.... sorry

 

Save it up for a down payment on a new house. Best decision you'll ever make in your lifetime on this sad planet, mortal.

Lol was waiting for a comment like that and i was thinking that but a down payment is usually 10% of asking price and most houses are 100,000 plus so i would need a minimum of £10,000 and at the age of 17 i think i'd end up spending that money anyway but on something with literally no resale value.

Unless you have a bunch of good friends on the Xbone, I'd just get a good upgrade to your pc, unless it can play games fine at the moment in which case get a new phone.

I've got my 18th next year (summer boy here) so I'm going to have a similar choice to you, but I'm likely to ask for either a broadwell i7 or a decent camera. Not sure yet though.
