What i decided todo is spend $1500 on myself and $500 on gf like i was planning. If she wants better she can put money into it to make it better. So ill just wait til about Christmas i'm thinking.

Does anyone know the date for the amd quad core? It will problaby be cheaper than intel or intel will reduice their prices on release so im going to wait for that.

Isnt student loans supposed to be spent for school purposes? not that a computer is but 2k for a pc is probably not what your lender want to hear.
