Hey my birthday is coming up soon and i don't know what to get any ideas?

I was thinkign i could get a a64/mobo/vid but i want that type of upgrade to last through college and if i gret it now it won't (i'm going into 12th grade)

So i was thinking a pimped case but i'm still not sure if i'm going to to matx or not so yea... IDK :-/

LOL
 
the case does u no good but bragging rights, spend your invesment on the goods inside the case and maybe next birthday u can get a sexier case.

3000/3200 venice
dfi ultra -D
x800xl

and stop with the LOL, whats so funny? :confused:
 
sexy cases?

no wonder im not married yet.

but i would get the lastest greatest of everything inside the case with a red velvet cake to boot.
 
look at the thread linked to in my sig for help.

You may want to back off on the video card a little and not get watercooling, but other than that I think it's a great budget system for overclocking.

edit: basically I'd go with twinMOS ram b/c it's cheap. DFI board for OCing. A64 Venice 3000+ or 3200+. Seasonic psu for quiet (or check out the psu forum, there's a nice sticky there). And your choice of video card. (My choice is a 7800GTX :D )
 
well to upgrade my proccesor i would have to upgrade my mobo and video card then too... (b/c of pci-e) and also i want my next big upgrade like that... (proc/mobo/vid) to last me through college and i'm going into 12th grade now.... so that upgrade would need to last me 4-5 years which i don't think it would...

that's what i would want preferably. And to get a proc/mobo/vid would be like idk around 350 maybe ?? i'm guessing tho i would love to do it but ............ :-/ i don't think i will be able to get THAT much for my b-day...
 
Also there's an idea of waiting until i absolutly need an upgrade............... i mean it's not essential i gues you could say................................... a smaller case would be grand tho hehe.

You punk thats exactly what I just ordered for college :p
comon fedex drive faster
 
haha fedex needs to drive faster they always take forever withs tuff but yea


lol the whole point is get the new proc/mobo/vid now or get it right before college.... i want this upgrade to last through college at least until the last year of college..... (i'm going into 12th now)
 
well if you want it to last you through college and you still got a year of high school left then obviously you're better off waiting till the summer before you start college.
 
lol yea i should just wait until closer.... :-/ but i want da best lol i hate to be me sometimes hahaha

Anyways..................................................... :-D I g2 get one of those cube cases tho those things r cooooool (later of course)
 
yeah I would wait till next summer to upgrade if I were you. Get a shuttle(cube case) and a LCD and it will be a lot easier to take it home and stuff.
 
Wait for dual core Pentium M chips, get a really good graphics card, lots of RAM, a durable but small case and a good 19in DVI LCD with a really big HDD and a DVD-R. That should last you a while.
 
shakezilla that was my plan ;) only thing with a cube case and a64 w/e w/e is.............. will a 120mm fan be enough 0_0 (onl cube cases i saw have 1 120mm fan slot)
 
also this isn't the right area but i'm sure someone who looks in here knows this question as well............... do lcd monitors also give out gamma rays like crt?
