Still ain't dead yet.

Admittedly I haven't been focused on drawing like that one time i posted a grand total of 2 worthless sketches. Primarily I want to avoid being burned out on it so quickly so I'm looking for other things to fiddle around with in addition to doing that.

Like for example by re-using some parts from my old PC (and shopping Black Friday), I managed to build my first-ever custom PC for under $200. :D The new parts were:

AMD FX-4100 3.6GHz (I realize its not the greatest, but it was $79 so I said why not)
Gigabyte 78LMT-S2 ($39)
Rosewill Challenger Case ($39) The blue fan was pretty :(
G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB 1666MHz [2x4GB] ($36)

I also got a 1TB External Drive and 16GB Flash drive for about $67 total.

I intend to replace my old no-name 400W PSU with a XFX 550w on sale at Newegg for about $55, and eventually a new GFX Card and a USB 3.0 Reader. For now I'm using the integrated card and I'm not overclocking anything yet. Once I get more cash I'll eventually get a better processor or even a whole new motherboard. Still kinda itching for an Intel, but they're too fucking expensive for me right now.

One thing's for sure is that I'm never buying a pre-built PC again. It's waaay cheaper and I get to pick the parts I want. It's also pretty easy to do (though it helps I already knew how to replace most parts in a PC). :V Maybe now I can start running games like Skyrim at something higher than 15FPS.

I also got my eyes on giving 3D another shot since I have a better computer this time around. Maybe...

(Oh and I kinda wanna learn how to make music too instead of just "remastering")
