How do I convince my parents to buy me a $643 Gaming PC?

1. making a PC will give you a much better array of equipment at a cheaper price - most pre made computers are given processors with lots of cores like i7s and losts of hard disk space because those are the two things people know about (non techys) - all a computer really needs is a high frequency dual core or a low frequency quad core processor, 4 gigs of ram, and a good graphics card. With this combo it will be a good computer. People think they need i7 processors, it does nothing for the speed of their computer it is wasted power if you arent getting into CAD design.

- so its cheaper effectivly 2. Gaming can be bad, but so can everything if you do to much of it, the is nothing wrong with half an hour a day of playing a game. 3.

Don't bother with hackintosh its crap 4. Your in year 7, you seem to know what your talking about, but your still young, you don't need the best of the best gaming PC, also you may think you know what your doing, but thinking you know what your doing even though you have never opened a case im afraid is false. I made my first gaming PC a few years back (around the age of 15) and had to do it with my dad the was a surprising amount of things I thought I knew that I didnt.

For example anti static wristband MUST be worn, where the headers go for power buttons etc, and so on...

Doesn't this go under life or family problem. You are crying on the wrong section.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
