Im probably going to just have my mom buy Windows 7, because she seriously needs to upgrade.

So, instead of buying the $100 one I suggested, get this one:

From what I remember (I haven't bought a non OEM OS in a while) you can get 3 copies out of it. One for you, one for your mother, and one for me!kidding :D And you also get some free Trend Micro for your new PC :D

I'm saying, although it made restore points for every driver change, the last restore point from before F-Secure might be at least a week before. :(

Isn't it worth a try?
I must say, Mega, you do whinge about problems but do nothing to fix them :)

holy mother of god $500 for a GPU

guess you end up paying quite a bit for a quality one though, right? :c

$500 is nothing for a high end GPU setup.
My next build will have about $2000 worth of GPUs (NZ dollars though).

720p

forget. There's not much point getting a really beefy system unless your monitor is at least 1080p (1920x1080).
I'll still list some parts that are beastly anyway, cause you may wish to upgrade your monitor in the future, and this will handle new games on max way into the future.

My gpu has never even gotten to 100*F....

My old one used to touch 80C (176F).
This new one never goes over 50C though.

Meh, never really thought of it as difficult, it would just take some time.
If you guys could post some links to a few parts that'd be great.

Need a new copy of Windows 7? Or do you have any lying round?

Well, I said I wasnt confident, but I could probably figure it out if I found a few good Youtube videos.

I'm always on MSN or Steam and can help you too, if you wanted to build one yourself.

I can put together a list of parts for you asap, if you want :)

If they reach 1337, it turns into leet. For obvious reasons.

Not really.

Dang, you could get a real beast for that price range.
I wonder if you know anyone who could, or if there are any PC shops that would do it cheaply?

Gaming and using some programs such as Photoshop, Cinema4D, ect.

Are you confident in building one yourself?
