Hello lovely's,

So obviously this has nothing to do with Starcraft, but I honestly know nothing about the insides of computers..so what better place to ask about it then here with all the lovely people at TL.

So here’s my little ramble, for Christmas this year I was stumped on what to get my lil bf, so I creeped his facebook to see if I could get any ideas. And sure enough he has pictures of the insides of his computer and I was like sweet! Ideas!! And what was even more awesome was that I found a list of all the things as well. So I journeyed to our nearby Memory Express and gave one of the guys the list and said I wanted to maybe upgrade his video card..and I basically took his word that what I purchased was pretty good for what I wanted to spend. This is what my bf has currently Nvidia's GeForce GTS 250 and this is what I purchased:

[image loading]

Good idea for a Christmas present?
Yay or Nay?
I tried to be super thoughtful, he also needs a new hoodie, so this and new hoodie?
Good enough or is it a tacky gift?
I also hope the bf does not read my blogs on TL..lol he doesn't have time for my other blog page so let's hope he has no idea I'm also blogging on TL. Haha.

Thanks lovley's
Love, ohsotedious

Well, that's a pretty big present . I'm sure he'll be really, really happy as a 560ti is a massive step up from a GTS 250.

Not to make you worry for nothing as his computer may be just fine, but some power supplies can't handle a 560ti.
Maybe before buying the hoodie make sure his power supply is at least 500W. I don't know if you can be subtle about it!

Note: girls are harder to shop for, don't be ridiculous!

Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

My wife always tells me she does not know what to buy me...every time she says that I tell her that I have an Amazon wish list with over 12 pages of stuff...it cracks me up. Every gift giving occasion this comes up. =)

That present Sucks! with a capital "S"

+ Show Spoiler +
jk, I'm actually jealous of your man for having a girlfriend that is this thoughtful and awesome, as well as for the fact that this graphics card is sick. If he doesn't like it, feel free to dump him and date me
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy
