One could say the government doesn't have to know but I think tax evasian advice would be against forum rules.

Can you see about going to another country to purchase? Presuming the prices aren't super high in all of Europe.

Get a better CPU + 670 (if you have one, awesome)

SSD should be after CPU

Well that plus $38 for a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better CPU will do wonders.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

670 should be fine for now at least on less demanding esport titles especially if he can run it on what he has now. 3Klicks philip on youtube used that for a significant while.

 

Get 8 gb of ram if you can but after you upgrade the cpu imo. But first do GPU IF the PSU can support it.
