I know. Though I haven&#8217;t been bullshitting anyone, I haven&#8217;t been really thinking with my head.<br \/>\nYesterday instead of playing STALKER, I asked Facepunch to think of a build for $500-$700. Big mistake&#8230; Reason? I told them I preferred nvidia over ATi, and they chewed my ass telling me I&#8217;ll be making a foolish mistake if I go with nvidia.<br \/>\nThey claim ATi is now better than them, with faster performance, at a better cost. They say the 4870 can rape a GTS250.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not the only reason it was a bad mistake. My brain refuses to realize that you need money to have a budget to build a system.<\/p>\n<p>Since I haven&#8217;t saved a dime, by the time I come up with that much money, it&#8217;ll be Halloween. But it depends on how much money I get for my birthday next month. Yep, I&#8217;ll be 33 years old soon. I sure don&#8217;t feel it though, in my head anyway. lol<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there&#8217;s another option I have that could work with getting a new system. Save up $300 instead of $800 or whatever, and then have Steuart, the guy that built my system, swap parts to see when it locks up. And by the beginning of September, I&#8217;ll have the cash.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;ll be taking $80 out of my checking account to finally start saving.<\/p>\n<p>I have to be thankful. Though I usually don&#8217;t give a shit and just want this damn thing fixed one way or another, but it could be much, much worse.<br \/>\nIt could be locking up in Windows as well. Or I could get BSoD&#8217;s trying to run a program.<br \/>\nMy problem isn&#8217;t that severe. As long as I play games I can easily save in, and maybe try to reinstall them to my C drive instead of my E drive, I&#8217;ll be fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And bullshit walks.
