£500 please. If I can make it through the first 3 months relatively cheaply I should be fine.

I wont be buying a new PC next year as I expect this one to last at least 2 years before an upgrade for the money I spent and instead of just keeping a track of my spending I'm going to make some sort of effort to keep in the budget.

I'm game - £1500 should be enough for most of my gaming next year.

I just have to stop buying games for others. :| :lol:
