Advise me! What to do with 300$?

  • Posted by Ashley Matthews November 4, 2011 - 872 views

    I got lucky. I've always been crazy poor when it comes to getting stuff I want. Now, onto the explanation and 'poll' options.

    An older man that goes to my old church gave me a free drum set because..Well, I don't know, really. I guess he just wanted a younger man to get into drums, and sort of 'carry on' his legacy. Who knows? Anyway, I sold it for 300$, and I just wanna know what to do with it. I'm AWFUL at decision making.

     

    PS3+Uncharted 3 Bundle

    Skyrim CE (Already bought original, so this would be used for collecting purposes.)

    iPod Touch 4 (I forgot how many gigs, but it's the 200$ model..)

    ATI Radeon HD 6870 1GB DDR5 Video Card

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Also, why the heck is my Hard Drive buzzing like a bee?

    Looks like a good one, or for about $30 more you could get an extra gig of GDDR5. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150563

    sure* not serious. Tiredness turns me into a grammar failure.
    And, I sent a freind request, since PMing doesn't work otherwise.

    Xfx or sapphire. They are both good choices.

    @Marx

    I have noticed an FPS gain on a number of different games, so yes, it is well worth the upgrade. The 6870 is inexpensive now, so that's a plus.

    I'm not an expert on computers ut from what I can see you should be able to run it on high if you upgrade the GFX.
    Also, OMFG I was like, 99% serious that wouldn't work xD I guess there still are kind people on the internet. Thank. You.

    What are some more major differences you've noticed? Any large FPS gain?

    Wow, if you are serious about the gifting, how nice of you! *This seems like a good opportunity to ask for Skyrim*... *Ahem* What was I saying? Oh, right, the graphics card, It's funny because the 5770 was my old graphics card, too. I upgraded to the 6870...  more
