Why is it such an issue that he is spending 1.3k on a PC? As I said before, the fuss you are making about this is ridiculous. There are many more people on here who have spent far more, myself included. This is a hardware ENTHUSIASTS' site, not an ooh deary me that's a lot of money to spend, why don't you get less powerful parts website. For me, PC's are all about getting the best performance. Hence why I watercooled, have one of the highest clocked GTX 580's in the country stable, and have spent about 2 grand on my PC.

Did I need to? No.

Did I want to? Hell Yes. And that's what this site is really about. ENTHUSIASM

This is why 19-year-olds should not be giving financial advice to anyone

You're living on a student loan, right?

Has the Op wasted his money yet? Why not get it on finance?

*tries to keep straight face*

If you're that worried about clicking buy on £1.3k worth of beautiful stuff then perhaps you shouldn't be spending that much as it's clearly not what you want.

Maybe do a re-spec of about £600 and see if you find it more justifiable and easier to click buy.

To be fair I want to build a desktop in a month or so for some TF2 action but have no idea what I need graphically to do it.

Furnishing a flat from scratch is a great way to become desensitized to the terror of the 'buy now' button. I blown thousands in the last three weeks. It becomes easy. :eek:

Do it!

I would take this advice. Spec something cheaper.

Perhaps something AMD, where you can get a decent CPU and motherboard for £150 for both. Then £150 or so on a gfx card.

If you're strapped for cash forgot the fancy cases. A £30 case will hold the parts in place just fine and can be replaced later.

You really can put a PC together for < £500 - one that can play games and everything.
