Don't you hate it when you have a processor that can't handle opening Photoshop, running VLC with audio, and running Firefox with < 10 tabs open without freezing for 15 minute intervals, and it's socket family are all soldered to the mobo?
Yesterday after getting uber frustrated I decided to put together a $260 budget build to get me out of this pickle that doesn't include the processor, considering my aunt has supposedly bought an Intel Core i3-4330 @ 3.5GHz and is mailing it to me. My mother always wants to postpone it indefinitely (and it looks like it won't be happening for a while), but I find this to be of importance, considering our eMachines doesn't have a WNIC and the Netgear USB stick is shot from being yanked out (which was her doing), making my laptop is the only functional computer with internet.
Oh, and did I mention she owes me $260? It's not like it's her money I'm spending, but she had a speeding ticket and needs smokes and just needed my $260 in cash out of the lockbox for that. D:<
