I went to my nearest computer store to buy my friend, HellBound, a new keyboard. Since he has done so much for me in 2008, I just had to repay him for his charitable efforts of giving me the best damn Christmas since 1994. He needed a new keyboard anyways, is I guess my gift to him was rather thoughtful. (self criticizing is rudementry, but I couldn't think of anything else to write.)
So during my venture within the computer store, that of which was Frys, I went into the GPU section and found a Geforce9800GTS, only for $130.
$130... Have I been distracted by my 360 that much?
Point is, that card must be one-year old. Usually, when a new set of next-gen GPUs are released, that last generation decreases in worth. And again, usually current-gen GPUs are at a whooping $400.
My 7800GT is now showing it's age; it's time for some improvements.
Sadly, I do not have the money... Yet. I do, however, have the money to get a Hard Drive upgrade for my computer. I now have only 8 GBs of HD Space, considering my countless number of PC games that I got from Christmas. So I need a Hard Drive, and that's about $70. I only have $45, but I think my Mother is considering of paying half. I just have to gain the knowledge of which HD brand to buy.
Vlog soon, homies. I promise.

I suggest getting a hdd from Seagate or Western Digital. I've used both for years, and they work great.
And you're almost at level 43
, I have 23. At least your PC is still up to par though. Mine has a various problems but at least I can still surf the web and use what I have on here.If I could Id just buy a whole new computer. I had no idea GPUs were that much new.
Yeah, Denis is right about the motherboard aspect, but since you have a 7800GT I'm sure you have the required PCI-E slot but I think there's also an AGP version so make sure. Also don't forget to give your Geforce9800 the proper power requirements, 450 watts and no less, with a PCI-E connector. Bah you probably know all this already.
I'm surprised by how many people still think simple upgrades are expensive. Really if you have the basics like a half decent power supply and an upgradable motherboard you can make that baby last if you know where to look.
