Whipped on the reverse.

Sooo Busy busy weekend.
Shopping, working, etc. etc.

Didn't see the movie (Max Payne comes out next week), Spent the time... Shopping... For computer parts... Online... >.>

But later for that.

I'm now playing this cool little 2d Platformer called Iji...

...

Oh my God, I love this game... I fell in love with it at midway through the first level. It's a simple game made in Gamemaker that is DEEEEEEP, story0wise and gameplay-wise.

Try it.

Now.
My computer. My friend Andy and I were discussing (read: arguing over motherboards) the parts I should buy on my budget, and everything came up to $427, sans monitor, an-...

...

Andy, for the second time, is fired as my tech guy. The $427 does not include the HDD or DVD writer...

I don't get it. My first parts draft was $4350 WITH a monitor... Granted there was no case+PSU... which would have come to... $540. WITH a monitor...

You guys help me out here.

First draft:
MSI 945 Mobo + Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz Prescot = $120
G.Skill 4GB DDR2 800 = $55
XFX GeForce 8600GT 512MB = $80
Seagate Barracuda 250GB HDD = $50
HP DVD Writer = $25
Corsair 450W PSU = $70 (Wait, what?)
Roswell Black computer case = $20
I-inc 17" LCD Monitor = $120 (as of now.)

Total = $540

What I have now...:

Gigabyte ATX Intel Mobo = $65
Intel Pentium D 2.5Ghz CPU + 4GB G.Skill RAM = $140.50 ($30 is the price to pay for an extra CPU core)
Corsair 450W PSU = $70 (...)
Roswell Black computer case = $20
MSI Radeon 3850 512MB + Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 = $132 (... I still don't see it... >.>)
Seagate Barracuda 250GB HDD = $50
HP DVD Writer = $25
I-inc 17" LCD Monitor = $120

For a whopping = $623 which I do NOT HAVE ANDY.

And he keeps reminding me that I'm broke... >.>

Ok, let's try again...
