xmas is coming up so im gonna try to ask for a new comp
the new comp which ive been updating over the past couple of years as new parts come out and such is as follows and comes to about $900...
now as far as cutting out some costs, I already cut out the $50 after market cpu cooler
rather not downgrade the vid card, want something that will last a long time...
cpu, psu, and case cant really get any lower
so I guess the mobo would be the thing to get a lower ver, does anyone have any recommendations?
I could also not buy the gpu at the current time (I have a regular pci card right now that can act as a temp until I could get the gfx card)...
