I get 300 dollars for christmas. I was thining of buying
Ipod 100-150
G watch 100 dollars
Aviator bomber hat 35 dollars
Game item 75 dollars.
But I also need some new cloths...
So should I just decide to invite a friend who got money for christmas to the mall and buy some clothes with him?
Answer
See if you can invest/save the money (e.g. stocks, saving account). You sound young. We old folks and working stiffs would never think about spending over $200 for the items you listed: a watch (all we need to do is look at the lower right hand corner of the computer screen to see the time), a hat for $35
(huh???) or a game item for $75 (you can buy a lot of groceries with $75). When you are an adult, you will have to earn your own $$$ and pay for stuff that you now get free (clothes, rent, electricity, transportation, toiletries, food, etc.) so try to live modestly now and save your $ for things you will REALLY need in the future. BTW, I am an adult and have never owned the stuff you listed above (except for the watch).
Where should I start with making a custom gaming computer?

I want to buy all of the parts for a gaming computer and assemble them myself because I want to save as much money as possible. Keeping saving money in mind, but still having a solid gaming computer, what places should I go to get good, cheap hardware? Also, what would the estimated price be for all of the parts I need for assembly while still staying below $500 (I know that gaming computers are very expensive, I'm just getting a ballpark, even though I would hate to hit that number).
Answer
the best way would be to order the parts from ebay and then assemble them . heres the best build i can get you for 500.
