YAY i have control again!
Long story, First i reformatted and lost all my passwords and information, then i lost my computer i reformatted. I wasn't able to recover my account because blogger is terrible at support! ~~ very terrible.
I was contemplating selling my ps3 and going for a 360 to online game with that instead of having to buy a brand new PC, PS3 is fine, not broken, just i cant go online and i need to play games online or ill go insane. I eventually realize i had to use a PC or nothing at all, PC is what I enjoy, and console gaming is so .. uncomfortable.
And when i added up the price of the 360, it cost as much as a PC would, so i just bought a PC instead. They advertise 300$ for the 250 gig model, but then you have to pay 70$ more for the online, etc etc.
I was going to wait until black friday to buy the parts, but then i would have had to bought the parts for my PC seperatedly and possibly have incompatibility issues. And I am not computer tech savvy so i figured just get a combo deal instead:
I got this deal:

the REASON i had to buy a brand new PC is due to dell. Dell xps 420 is what i had, they have "special" parts only you can buy from dell or end up buying refurbished models off ebay for 200+ bucks. Having no clue what actually was broken with my PC, i had no way of telling what i needed to buy. I could not just buy one singular part, and the only option on ebay was a 200$+ barebone of motherboard/case/psu
Dell is a rip off, i praised it before, but once you are out of their warranty , they treat you like shit and expect you to pay 300-400 to fix a computer that's 3 years old I will never deal with them again.
So i just ordered the newegg combo, i was going to wait til black friday,but i explained earlier why that wouldnt work too well
i can always upgrade and change parts later, and i need to sell my other parts i have:
going down to what people actually care about instead of all the drama i just wrote above

I just would go in, ask about it, get free meal, ask for doggy bag/for it to go, i ate like steak breakfast, lunch and dinner lol
Also here is a helpful guide to people that arent familiar with how to build a budget PC (i know some people ask for it on forums a lot), just zoom in a lot to see the details
it wasn't very helpful to me, because i'd always worry about compatibility and such, so ill worry about what im compatible with AFTER i got a working computer
so thats the news/update for now, expect a lot more frequent updates, because i got time on my hands until this computer arrives
