Heyo
Just got paid and bit the bullet and bought myself some new bits. But as my sisters were paying for some as my Christmas present I had to explain in simple terms what they were, which was... challenging.
8800GT - Makes my PC's graphics much better than a PS3 for a fraction of the cost.
Freezer 7 Pro - Means I can make my PC's brain run faster instead of having to buy a new faster one (took some explaining about cooling etc).
Coolermaster 690 Case - My current case is loud and i cant sleep with my PC on, this one is much quieter and looks nicer (met with a 'turn your PC off at night then' answer....)
Cheap 5.1 Sound Card - So I can put sound and pictures through my TV which is pointing the other way from my PC, and allows me to play games etc with headphones while someone else can watch a film. (answer: you can connect your TV to your PC?)
I got there in the end and they paid up. What other means have you used to purswade people who arent as geeky minded as us that PC parts are a worthwhile upgrade?
