Wireless card too.

 

I disagree with Wi-Fi and think that you shouldn't use it wherever possible.

And for Windows, get a cheap key on some site!

Not sure about that CPU in GTA V actually. Maybe drop to a 380 and get a higher end CPU.

Also, as for a WIFI USB stick, I can recommend this one:

Wireless card too.

Whether you approve of Wifi or not is pretty much a moot point. it's not always possible to get a cable from your router to your PC.

Flamewar imenent about the legality of this.

 

It is legit, it is just in a weird way. Sellers buy keys in bulk for cheap, and then sell them for less cheap: that is how they make a profit, not by a scam or non legal stuff. Make sure to buy from a reputable seller!

You would get a legitimate version of Windows if you buy reasonably.

 

And why can't you run an ethernet cable up to your room? I got up on the roof with my dad and ran it along the outside of our house because we knew that Wi-Fi wasn't worth bothering with.

Because.... The router is alll the way downstairs in the basement. 2. I would need a 1million feet ethernet cable jk but still a very long one

I don't see any arguments against ethernet there. Decent Cat5e/Cat6 is cheap, and doesn't have great range limitations when compared to Wi-Fi.

It isn't because people are making profit off of it

By that logic, it's not legitimate when you buy on Amazon or somewhere because both Amazon and Microsoft are profiting some.

 



Also my mom and dad wont let me bro
I strongly disagree with them then :P
But I can understand the pains of trying to convince one's parents.
