I find it ridiculous to pay for one piece more than whole system. Years ago I bought 1966 Mercury pickup for $250, running and everything but with cracked windshield. They asked $300 to make new windshield and I couldn't find used one. I refused and let it sit for a year until I found cheap used one. Ok, I did frame up resto in mean time but until I found affordable windshield it didn't see the road.

Yeah i know but at the time the GPU is what you need to get the gaming you wanted from a budget build

I am actually selling that same build my co worker wants to take it off my hands for $500 but his girlfriend is cockblocking because she wants a laptop

I can chat to her myself since we all work together but her reasoning for a laptop she wants to take it on the go to play games when i'm on the go i have no time for that reason why i sold my sister my laptop it was a waste

When i'm out in the world i'm not thinking Gee let's heat up the Lappy and start gaming lol

I don't like laptops, not much fun with them and at higher price too. My GF has a laptop and I don't let her bring it unless something's wrong with it. She wouldn't let me build her a desktop because "It clashes with her furniture" !!!

The Nerve of her sounds like you need woman that won't clash with your Building skills

Just fooling you know how women are my wife says alot but doesn't hesitate to jump on when she needs something

I mostly use laptops these days. I only really keep my desktop around for running VM's and gaming. I haven't had a desktop at work for like 15 years.

Girls like Winnona, Stef and Moly are hard to find. I was dating this one since 1964 with 25 years of not dating in between 1974 and and 1997 while I was in Canada. When I came back we took of like nothing had happened in mean time except now we are together only couple times a week. She used to like my motorcycles and car racing, even was my copilot for rally but now knows to be a bit grumpy at times, wouldn't even let me drive her on motorcycle and squawks when I approach speed limit in car. But... now cooks better than ever. A "keeper" in any other way.

It's funny when years go by you are just used to it

We might bitch and whine but in reality i would be lost without my Sher

Been with the same woman for 12 years before that my sons mom was the only other long term relationships i've had

I'm not much of a jumper i like to hug the ground lol
