I suppose it is just time to say "screw it" and build another computer...
I'm in college, I live with my dad. We have a fight, he kicks my computer, computer doesn't start up. After a bit of looking inside, here is what I find:
That kick somehow broke off a couple of pieces of the motherboard and the video card.
So essentially, my computer is shot. I doubt non-other than Jesus himself could fix it at this point.
I am looking in the market to buy a new computer within the next 6 months. Something to use for gaming, programming, and in general as a central hub. I want it to work well enough to play the majority (if not all) of the games out in that time frame well, but don't want to have to upgrade it for a few years. At the same time, I cannot afford to just buy top end parts, so that is out. So what kind of parts am I looking to buy if I am trying to maintain a balance between affordability and longevity?
