I'm not sure I should have started building my own PCs...

...I've developed an itch, and I need the scratch it. I constantly NEED a bigger, better PC...

 

Itch the first:

...At first I had a pre-built HP desktop PC, that was the most powerful computer in the house (can't remember which CPU, but it had a Radeon HD 6450 I believe) I wanted just upgrade the graphics card to a 260X, but I needed a bigger PSU, then it simply wouldn't work. So I build a new PC from scratch totalling about 1K AUD (Fractal Design Core 3000, Some Gigabyte LGA 1155 board, not sure which chip exactly, frankly had little to no idea what I was doing). I then found out that the PSU wasn't working, so we had to get another in. After finally getting it to work i passed the HP onto one of my sisters. It was great...

 

Itch the second: The itchening

...for about 6 months then I hungered for MORE POWER/FPS, so I built my current system for around 2K AUD and passed the previous one onto my other sister. It's fantastic...

 

The current itch:

...Now, only about 3 months after building it...I want MORE. I want to build this: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/kKnQ23. It's overkill...And I want to SLI...

 

 

...I think I need help, I'm still on the single 900p display.

Just don't upgrade, jeez... (or do upgrade and give your PC to me)

Look at me.

Look at your wallet.

Now look at the steam sales.

Look back at  your wallet.

 

Money gone, no upgrading needed!

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

If you have the money then it doesn't matter but if you're struggling then wait a few more months  :P

Soo many games, not enough money to get any.

If you need help with a drinking problem the last place to look for help is a bar.

 

You are definitely in the wrong place :)
