I really do.. too many choices too many decisions.. naa.. its not about u guys nor is it about anyone i know.. its about me. my worst enemy.. me.. thats right i hate myself.. this shud've gone in my blog, but since i dont blog i am ranting here..
It all started when a good friend of mine told me he's visiting.. from u-guessed-it-right.. the US of A. I came up with a plan of all the i33t stuff i wanted for him to get me.. my budget was 20k (from my old rig n yet-to-be-sold card) or roughly about $450. Too bad my friend cudnt afford that much.. (i hope he didnt faint hearing my budget.. hehe).. he gave me a limit of $200-300. To be on the safer side I restricted myself to a $200 budget with a 6600GT. Then came along another friend who said he could arrange for stuff to be delivered to my friend.. boy was I delighted!!! my evil mind started working out the various combinations.. since i had a initial budget of $450, to the 6600GT i added a MX518, a mouse pad and 1gig OCZ VX Value RAM - all this for roughly about $450. I was so tempted to get the DFI nF4 U but better sense prevailed n i backed off.. ( i already had a A8N-E by then)..
then came along ppl who seriously n very strongly asked me to re-consider my choices on the graphics card n RAM. i was strongly asked to get a X800XL (for such a wonderful card it is) n some uber RAM that runs at uber 2-2-2-5 timings. ofcourse thiers were good-will suggestions.. but little did i know what i was getting into then.. i said OK, what the heck, its not every day that u have the chance of getting stuff from abroad. so I 'upped' my budget to $500. with this i cud get a X800XL n some uber RAM. i had to scrap all my dreams of MX518 though. but it was OK. I got into researching then. the more i searched n researched, the more i was confused and the more i was lead into temptation!!! I didnt want any uber RAM anymore. I wanted THE absolute best! that lead to numerous questions to my many good friends (i am thankful for their patience n tolerance to my somewhat stupppid n obvious questions).. Often their words wud make me think about selling my 2 week old mobo and get the DFI nF4 U instead!!! again better sense prevailed, thankfully and i said a firm no (to the devil in me) to the DFI!
to cut the long story short I now want a $400 graphics card with some $300 RAM!!!
so help me!! either by telling me why I am stupid :baby: (i know, but i wud like to hear from ya..) or by digging into your pockets for Mask-upgrade fund! i accept cash/cheque/DD et al :angel1:
