Have OC made an error?

Hmm, I guess I could.

I'm thinking keep saving then, but its gunna be like £700 without the monitor, thats an awful lot.

I'm only 15, and earn by working for my Dad in the office, and ironing at home.

I have mock exams this week and next, and coursework to be doing, so not done any choirs for a while :P

I'll be getting the monitor for xmas probably, along with things like keyboard/mouse, etc, small things like that.
 
Ah... I'm 21 now, but built my first system when I was 15 as well :D XP2500, 512MB RAM, Geforce4 Ti4200. It's a great feeling when you first fire up a system you built and paid for yourself.

Personally I'd go mad with half a PC sitting around the house for months, but it's up to you :D

Pretty sure the writing is upside down on my Corsair PSU (not at home at the moment) - don't think it matters, as long as the PSU can pull air inwards.

Just a thought, but instead of buying in stages, you could wait until you've saved up all the money and get it all in one go? That way you could get the latest stuff rather than building with a mobo that's already a few months old, and hopefully the exchange rates will have improved by then! Bonus: you'll only have to pay one lot of delivery.



I think everyone feels like that the first time... best way to learn PC building is by doing, it's pretty hard to break anything! And there's loads of good advice on these forums.

I'm worried about wiring it all up, and then blowing somet up when I plug it in for the first time :(

:rolleyes:

Or making a complete **** up of the wiring.

Mmm... good idea to check it all over before you fire it up, but really you'll find that almost everything can only plug in one way, so it's hard to mess it up. If you have to force any wires in then you're generally doing it wrong.

Ahh okay, will double/triple check everything :D

I have roughly £150 to spend tonight, what do I order? :D

Worked it out with Mum, £150 a month is fine. As I can pay it back over time, she knows I'll pay it back, so shes not too bothered.

So its all good :)
