>It's just 900 dollars Anon!!!
Yeah if your paycheck doesn't go directly to bills and living expenses then it's not too expensive. I could save 20 dollars every month, but
>>28467033
Go to >>>/wsr/ and say your budget, someone will make one for you. Building it isn't too difficult and there are plenty of videos on youtube, it's just like lego.
>>28467149
2weeks
buy ram - 50$
2weeks
ssd - 50$
thatll give you enough incentive to save the 20$ to get the cpu and mobo then gfx card.
at the end youre probably better off like this as the price can drop dramatically or an 'anniversary' piece may come out by the time you've saved up enough.
alternative get a job under the table, work for a week or two and quit.
>>28466951
you can still enjoy vidya as a poorfag if you don't mind graphics, I play SNES, neo-geo and old rpg games on my old pc, they're pretty good anon you should try them out
>tfw mom told me she would give me $1k for a pc
>grandma and aunt pitch in too because i'm the good son
>years pass of being somewhat poor
>see about $200 of it
>she put the rest toward her student loan debt, lost her job and never gave me anymore
>turn 18, it's my responsibility to pay for my things now
i have to save up for a car now, and then probably pay rent, so i guess get my good graphics in a few years.
>>28467298
you can enjoy videogames as a poorfag but you can't play anything that comes out after like 2010
I got hype for the overwatch beta but I couldn't even run it
>tfw bought maxxed out gaming PC for 700
just wait for the new series of graphics cards and it will get cheaper
>>28466951
>tfw pc died and you can't afford a new motherboard
>tfw you want to play the witcher 3
>you'll have to wait atleast 5 more years
tfw have good pc
zero interest in playing anything

thankyu friends
>build gaming PC
>realize that modern videogames by and large suck
>play games 8-25 years old instead
At least everyone wasn't trying to nickel and dime you for every piece of content they could conceive of back then.
That's why i'm not on steam, and pretty much the reason of my being alone even online.
My pc don't even run Tabletop Simulator
I just want to play comfy games on the 3ds. Instead I have to use my phone as an emulator
>>28470257
Buy a 2DS.
It cost nothing (90$) and it's better of emulating on the phone.
If only a good pc price was 80$... my lord
>tfw my tower doesn't have a side panel
But hey, can't beat $5 price tag at the Goodwill Computet Works

>Get cheaper MOBO with mini pci e slot
>Cheaper PSU
>Cheaper Case
Profit?
>>28470469
Forgot to mention, you can also just wait a few months for NVIDIA and AMD to release their new cards so that the old ones drop in price.
>tfw have good "gaming" PC
>that kind which is VR ready
And I only play indie games that you only need a toaster to run.

Yeah Legos with fucking TEDIOUS SCREWS. Fuck you motherboard.

Christ anon, how do you live without a side-panel?
>tfw you don't even have a pc
> be Linuxfag
> accordingly, get a huge cpu and the cheapest gpu I could find
> shit's been awesome
Rig's 8 years old and can emulate ps2 with just the cpu. I regret nothing.
>>28472834
it's not so bad. The only downside is it gets really hot in my room after a while
>bought a gaming pc for 1500 yuros
>literally the only game i play now is osu!
>>28466951
I know that feel. It seems I can only play games from 10 years before and never catch up with the newest games
>Alienware 17 for $2500
>literally no games
>spend 2k on build
>buy meme gtx970, buy two in fact because im a raging retard
>takes me a month to figure out how to put it together

>works pretty good now but cant run high intensive games
>come to the realization that I dont even like video games anymore
>sell it for 3k
>only use a free laptop now
>mfw i bought $800 of Skylakememe parts to build a new super gaymen computer and AMD shat the bed with Poolaris
>>28469982
last game i played was xcom 2
>tfw only built this pc to play star citizen when they release support for linux
A bit different but:
>Wait 5+ years for Tree of Savior to come out
>Get into the early access
>It's fucking trash
The disappointment is so strong my chest actually feels kinda heavy.
should I buy a gaming laptop
>>28466951
If you have a shitty PC then just play old games/emulate.
>>28466951
>tfw have a good rig, but wouldn't be able to immediately afford any replacements if something were to suddenly break since I'm a neet
Computer stuff's my life, so this worries me greatly.
i wish i had money to replace my lg 19" monitor from 2007. i need ~ 200$-250$ for dell u2414h or lg 24" mp67vq-p and still can't afford it
Not bragging, but I have 550 games on steam and a 980ti, I never use either of them anymore. I use my lonovo g70 to play nes and Sega games. I'm poor as shit, I wish I would have saved that money. Modern games are a scam.
Just get an older 360 and mod it so it's able to play torrented vidya. Should be ~$100 for a used one with a controller and like $15 for a large usb stick.
>tfw when I have built 3 of them
stop being poor
>>28466951
>got a refurbished computer
>really nice, 8gb ram and good-ish processor
>basically a gaming laptop aside from no fancy graphics card
>only paid $450
refurbs are the best, they cost like nothing. i googled, my comp new is $700. and go to best buy, they have the best deals in their online store.
>>28474420
>he thinks quantity of games is better than quality
it's your own fault for being retarded
>>28474420
same boat here. I played like 1 game that required the beefed up specs i made my computer out of. the rest is dumb shit i could be playing on windows 95.
I wish i saved my money instead.
>have chromebook
>put ubuntu on it
>play cs source all day
>only paid $250
>>28474595
>buy a refurbished pc with a core2 duo, 4gb ram, 500 gb hdd
>find out weeks later i could have gotten something with a core2 quad and a larger hard drive for a similar price/less
psu on this thing is failing after one year of use and i can't find a new(only refurb) replacement because it's not anything like a regular atx psu.
>>28466951
>tfw NEET and can afford a gaming PC.
You're doing something seriously wrong with your life senpai.
>>28467298
That's what I've been doing since 2011. It's really sad trying to run "new" games with my current rig. There's only so much a 8400GS can handle. I'm playing GTA - San Andreas for the 20th time. Also going through some RPGs on a PSP emulator.
>>28474787
where'd you get it? the place i used has a 60 day return policy, they get you another one.
own:
>ps4 (need a new controller)
>h4x ps3
>360
>decent gayman PC (FX-8320, r9 290, 8GB ram, etc., with 173 Steam/torrent games installed)
would trade all of it to be able to actually enjoy a video game without having to be either drunk or high
>Can afford gaming PC
>Buy a Mac instead
>>28466951
>buy a pentium for 70 bucks and oc that shit to 4,4 ghz
>buy second hand 5850 for 25 bucks
>run most games atleast medium settings on 40+fps
feels good to not waste 800 of my hard earned shekels on what can be done with a lot less.
I will probably buy a cheap Polaris card once it's out though, this thing uses too much electricity.
Anybody has any ideas how to make cooling for latptop better, for the past year performance of my laptop somewhat decreased and I get huge framerate drops I suspect it's due to overheating because the heatsink just isn't doing its job anymore
I have a couple old coolers I took from the old PC but I don't know how to make use of them
>>28475139
Man of taste detected.
Having a gaming PC is a sure sign of someone being a fucking faggot.
>saved up 900 usd in 6 months
>planning to save up 2k total until 2017
>cutting edge graphic cards are getting released in early 2017
>going to build a high end pc which will last me 5+ years
Feels good man
my mediocre laptop plays all of the video games and anime i want it to...
>>28474925
some referb seller on amazon, i don't remember exactly through who.
>>28475266
he said a gaming pc, that's not a gaming pc in this context. how fucking dumb are you?
