Just dropped $1,200 on a brand new computer to play battlefield 2. Girlfriend bitched at me this morning and I'm starting to feel bad about my purchase considering I'm supposed to be getting a new car towards the end of the summer I should be saving up on. Please help! Tell me how good of a decision I made!

Put the desktop wallpaper with her picture and tell her...."Look baby its a picture frame too!"........... this always amazes them.
She'll be like "You're so considerate."

Still could've built for less than $1200.

Pffff...the one I priced out this morning or myself was over 3k/cdn! And that doesn't even include the 2405FPW I plan on getting!

Dude you could buy a Dell 399 after 100 mail in rebate and slap an ATI X800Xl in there and have plenty to play that game. for around 650-700 bucks.

I bought a laptop yesterday and cancelled the order today for the same reason. Buyers remorse!

Tell her that a computer is not an object, it is a solution. It lets you do things that you enjoy such as putting up a wallpaper of your girlfriend on your desktop. :) Also, just buy a cheaper car to make up for it. Or better yet, a used one. People waste way too much money on cars.

She can see what your priorities are.

You made the decision knowing what would happen. Now take your medicine.
