Im 33, from south east England, married with kids and will never grow up. 
Ive been floating around on here for a while now, wanted to ask a few questions but its such a big forum that i dont want to sound like noob and get flammed, as ive been out of touch with PC life for a few years.
After seeing the BF3 trailer i finally decided that my PC needed an upgrade, it stopped playing modern games many years ago and all i was limited to play online was css and trackmainia. That computer has now been past onto my 6 year old to get him started on some old game. It seems not so long ago and it was a top pc in its time, shelled out a lot of money on it. AMD 64 3800+ (single core) 2gb or ram, ati x800xt pe is the basics of it, well past its sell by date i know.
So ive nearly finished the upgrade, idea was to build a budget gaming pc and now im wishing i had spent a little more on the cpu and motherboard, might do in a few months time, but it will do for now to get me up and running and back into the world of gaming. specs are
AMD x4 955BE
ASUS M4A77TD-PRO Motherboard
Corsair 2x2GB DDR3 1333MHz
Soon to be ATI 6950
XFX 750W Modular PSU
CiT Vader gaming case
All that is left to buy is one of them OCZ agility 3 ssd as my boot drive and will probably get one of them Seagate momentus XT 500gb hybrid things as my storage drive. And probably upgrade my 21inch tft to something a little bit bigger and more modern, and whack in couple of more stick of ram, another 6950, you know how things go, i get carried away.
