Multi-use PC

"Indentured servitude consisted of a worker (the "indentured servant"), usually from a foreign country, agreeing to work for a specific time, usually about 7-8 years, to pay off his costs of travel to the new country. Pay would be minimal during those 7-8 years, and might only include housing, food and training. The worker might also receive land for himself at the end."

Heck I am all for borrowing money! As long as you can pay it back.
 
I hope it will last me at least 5 years. Im coming from an original pentium system that uses 50% of its processor to determine how long it stays in idle.

Im hoping to borrow money off parents so I have a 0% interest rate :D
I currently have £400 in bank, trying to keep it as cheap as possible so here is what I currently have:

Thats great cheers for that Doyll.

I'm just thinking price wise, cost of buying a 2500K and cooler, is it really worth it for the extra performance and possible problems.
 
Noise isnt really an issue since I have a Sennheiser headset, and it cant be louder tha my xbox or laptop! :D

How much did your PC cost and would you reccomend sourcing any components second hand.
 
I looked in the clearance section when I was hunting for parts but could only find the HDD that actually looked like a good deal. I've been contemplating fleebay but I am unsure about quality of the stuff there etc.
 
Okay so since my xbox broke. The disc tray has gotten jammed and the case (its the slim version) has been designed not to be opened!
I will be buying shortly, maybe tomorrow.
