Posted May 7, 2012 Bought nearly all my components to build my first PC today (for gaming), takes so much longer than you'd think to research what the best / cost efficient components are. Should be fun working out how to put most of it together! £55 - Antec 300 two case with usb 3.0 (ebuyer.com) - Has front USB 3.0 ports, apparently very airy to prevent overheating. Woot? £110 - ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 Motherboard (dabs.com) - Seems pretty slick from reviews and supports crossfire/SLI with front USB 3.0 connectors too. £39.97- 8GB Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9 Low Profile Vengeance 1600MHz RAM (Amazon) - Wow, RAM sure got cheap these days. £175 - Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5-3570K Processor (Amazon) - almost the same price as the Sandy Bridge and marginally better. It's unlocked (hence the K) so should be able to get this up to at least 4.5GHz. £28.50- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO processor cooler (ebuyer.com). One of the best apparently. £89 - Crucial 128GB M4 SSD (ebuyer.com) - Should make mincemeat of OS bootup and general load times £109.26-Corsair CMPSU-750HX Professional Series 750W Power Supply (ebuyer.com) - Quite pricey but worth every penny. Modular so no cable clutter, 7 year warranty and one of the most efficient and trusted. Got more wattage than I needed to allow for crossfire if I want to do that at some point. £10 - 2 x Antec TriCool 120mm 3 speed fan (amazon). - Fans...umm...fans. :p Still need to buy: £200 - Radeon HD 7850 2048MB GDDR5 Twin Frozr III graphics card (awaiting stock on Novatech). Seems to be an amazingly efficient/low temperature card that can easily be overclocked to equal top tier cards. Already have: Keyboard/mouse/HDD/DVD-RW/Win7 Comes to a fair bit but should last quite a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 8, 2012 A scarf. It's got birds drawn on it, it's a little easier to see in person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2012 I did see the birds, but I'm still having a hard time seeing it's a scarf. It looks pretty, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Just spent about £50* on (3) tickets to see these hipsters from Mars play in London and Birmingham in October. Means I'll see them 4 times these year! Shame I can't make the NYC tickets I booked, would be nice to see them 5 times in a year. *seemingly most of that on Ticketmaster handling charges. £12.50 ticket plus £1.25 booking fee + £5.50 delivery. In fact that's half the cost of the ticket itself! Edited May 9, 2012 by Ashley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2012 You have a problem, Ashley. It may be time for an intervention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2012 As I see/justify it they very rarely come here (although coming here a few times this year...) so enjoy it while I can! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2012 I did see the birds, but I'm still having a hard time seeing it's a scarf. It looks pretty, though. I think it's already bunched up. Imagine it spiralled up with the neck hole at the top. Or it's not bunched up, and nigthwolf has a really weird shaped neck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 10, 2012 Bought recently 2 add-ons as well, works well on my pretty naff computer. 2 tickets for them in October, rewarding myself for when my contract expires in September. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2012 Aww, man. I had so much fun with The Sims 3 until the save file became too large and I couldn't save anymore. I haven't touched the game since. Enjoy it while it lasts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
