Hardware Bargains

Um, I just went full retard today. I spent 7k on a new psu, mobo, ram and aio water cooling kit.

Should have bought some of the kit second hand!

What did you get btw, details?

That 780 deal isn't as great as it says, don't be fooled into thinking you're saving R4000. Rather get a 970 with 2 free games.

That's a nice setup.. I see you went with wootware, could see by the super flower... Good value for money that.
In July I'm also building my system up, just waiting for skylake and then will decide

1 left!

Soon to be none it seems, as Takealot will likely be taking it back tomorrow and refunding me.

Why change of mind?

Compulsive buy. That what takealot normally does to you on daily deals. I do my homework over and over. Don't click buy until I say I need it.

It's often made worse by the fact that now and then Takealot does actually have a ridiculously good special on daily deals and if you aren't quick enough...

MIGHT keep it, will sleep on it and decide tomorrow. Otherwise I'll sell my HD 6850 if Fallout 4 doesn't run well? and go for a lower powered GTX 9 Series.

If you put the work in and treat your money carefully, you can do it too one day.
