Posted October 22, 2015 Look, I'm a poor guy but I need to get my priorities right. I either splash out on my girlfriend or I keep most of my money for PC upgrades. HELP! Also if you have any present suggestions that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 22, 2015 50/50. Maybe 60% for the GF. Or think of it like this - Girlfriend or computer?

Posted October 22, 2015 To be honest just putting some thought into something cheap can mean more than something that costs a fortune, just get her some roses, a few candles, and make her a nice dinner. 5820k4Ghz/16GB(4x4)DDR4/MSI X99 SLI+/Corsair H105/R9 Fury X/Corsair RM1000i/128GB SM951/512GB 850Evo/1+2TB Seagate Barracudas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 22, 2015 We need some information? How badly is your current setup in need of an upgrade? What are your girlfriends interests etc. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 22, 2015 I am poor myself. I'll never choose PC Upgrades over my Gf's happiness. However, my gf and I have been together 1 year and 9 months and are pretty serious about each others. If you both just started up, then upgrade that PC and buy her a rose:P If not, you'd regret those new PC parts Try to find a balance between a gift to her and a small upgrade to your PC. EDIT: You can also gift her something hand-made ? Something creative and meaningful ? For my GF's birthday/ Valentine maybe not sure. I'm making her an App that has buttons to "tell her I love her in 3 different languages" and some other stuff like that .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 22, 2015 I'm not sure how important your computer is to you but I thought this one was quite obvious. But you don't need to plunge yourself into bankruptcy to do something nice LGA775 Overclocking Guide - LGA771 to LGA 775 mod - Rigs in spoiler - Subzero Overclocker - HWBOT - Sandybridge-E Frequency WR Holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 22, 2015 I just saw another post by you, judging by your age and the probability that your GF is about your age, she shouldn't require you to spend copious amounts of money on her. Otherwise you have the wrong girl But as a general tip I have a lot more fond memories of past GF's than I have of myself sitting in the dark blue light of my monitor.

Posted October 22, 2015 Look, I'm a poor guy but I need to get my priorities right. I either splash out on my girlfriend or I keep most of my money for PC upgrades. HELP! Also if you have any present suggestions that would be great. Find a shoplifter or a fence that can get you some good gear for the missus (helps if there a druggie, it means you will get your gear cheaper) then you can spend the big bucks on pc gear! (Unless your fence can get that too, but if that is the case I'm gonna need his number too) My PC: i5 4690k===MSI GAMING 3===980TI===8GB-Corsair-Vangence-Pro-Series===H100i-GTX===EVGA G2 750W===Samsung 850evo m.2 boot drive===Samsung 250gb evo SSD===Seagate-Barracuda-1TB-HDD===NZXT-H440 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 22, 2015 You don't need to buy her an expensive present. Cook dinner for her, or something like that.

Posted October 22, 2015 You don't need to buy her an expensive present. Cook dinner for her, or something like that. ^ this. Unless she's pretty gifts-oriented, odds are she'll care more about the thought you put into something than the dollar amount. If what I'm posting has already been posted, I'm sorry.
