So i am currently saving up for a new Pc. In the mean time I have not got a real Pc to play games on. All the time I want to get into new hobbies and the such because of being bored. I have a core2duo thing that i mess around with every now and then but that isn't cutting it anymore. Any suggestions on what to do  that don't cost a whole lot. And don't say just come on LTT.

Go to garage sales or flea markets and get some cheap games and systems.

Yeah might go to a card boot at the week-end.

When I go to flea markets I spend like 20 euros usually, but I am not in the mood to buy anything for 2 months or something after that.

I don't. I buy used so that I can sell it for pretty much the same price and then buy something else when I want it. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
