Yes, i know it's a shame that i don't have a Gaming rig yet, but i have tried several times to Build 1, it's just that Prices here are Crazy almost 150% more than the actual market Price.

I desperately want to move on from Consoles, I even have saved up $1300 by putting aside $200 each month from Paycheck, but i just won't Pay Twice the price to these Blood Sucking B**t**ds here.

Though i will be visiting USA again in March (Medical Reasons) & on my trip i'll be picking up all the Components to build a RIG.

Currently Hard drives are in a shortage so they are going for much higher prices, around two times as much as usual and they are going to be in short supply for a while.
