Uggh.. ok, so I finally got my tax return back and have paid some bills, didn't really put a major dent in any as I had hoped, but I have gotten the important people paid off. I have some left over money, but not much, (I was thinking it was going to be more left over when i did the calculations in my head prior to the return actually getting here.. *sigh*) But In any case.. I know I have at least $1500 to spare. Here is my dilemma.. I can't decide if I should actually put out the money towards my new gaming rig (which I've wanted for the past year.. and have waited until this moment to be able to get it) or if I should put it with the rest of the lil bit I have left over and just save it for later (bills, impulse buys, more video games, non-sense friviolous things later on.. ) . I need some help friends of GameSpot.. what should I do??!!

For those that KNOW their computer stuff.. I'll list my rig specs here:

Case: XCLIO A380BK Fully Black High Gloss Finish SECC 1.0mm thickness ATX Full Tower

Uggh Isn't He Pretty!??
