Don't bother replying but seriously, it's $22...don't bother buying a game or what ever for a week and that's enough to cover it no? (or even borrow it from someone...it's $22)

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Run without gpu until you can afford it!

I am definitely going to be able to afford it:

$400 savings

$250 expected money from friends as gifts

$150 agreed to be paid by my parents.

I do want to leave leeway if some money doesn't come or if prices rise.

100th post!!!!!!

you could try really hard but you would never make that case look good.

Yep just leave the fans. It can run crisis 3 at a gazillion fps at 80k.

I am going for new except for the monitor. It was that 1080p one that was removed from the classifieds.

yeah but still 290 performs a lot better than a 380 and used it should cost less

To be honest that case doesn't look too shabby.  You will get away with it.
