Hi there!

Hey everyone, I couldn't find the right place to put this so I thought here would do.

Anyway, by way of introduction, I'm a 3rd year uni student of Business Economics (I sound like I'm at an interview). I love football, have supported Preston North End all my life, love music (play drums), and I guess I'm into PC gaming, but I just don't have the money to upgrade.

Here are my specs:

AMD Athlon 3500+
No name mobo
nVidia GeForce 7900GS 256mb
1GB DDR2 PC2700 RAM (333mhz)
1 x No name 75GB SATA HDD, 1 x 250GB Samsung IDE HDD
OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU

A poor do, I'm sure you'll agree, but you'd be suprised at how it runs some games. Fallout 3, for example runs fine on medium settings. GTA IV, however, did not.

Don't know what else to put actually, apart from that I'm a poor student, so please send me all your unwanted PC parts! Thanks!

EDIT: Why am I a thug? I don't want to be a thug!

Preston North End at a guess... since he supports them

You're a thug because you have to start at the bottom.
Welcome anyway.

Aye, whats worse is the unbranded stuff.

A tight budget is a tight budget... but... well... Q-Tec PSU's anyone?

KABOOM!

Quite a busy forum eh? More replies than I was expecting.

And who do you support?

Indeed, it is my first ever computer, bought for £400 new in August 2006. Was a custom/pre-built job where I picked the additional bits. Graphics card and extra HDD came later, when I found out I couldn't run Oblivion with on-board graphics. Hopefully will be another update to it now that I have found that I can't run GTA IV with a less-than-minium spec PC. Shame.
