I work, and have saved up enough money to buy three top of the range, extremely high spec PC's. I just settled for a £700 base unit though, and that's £700 well spent.

paper round my ass - you want to get into programming languages and making dosh quickly and in large bursts. take Star wraith 3. it's not well-known in most places but it's making good money. and it was made in Dark basic, which is just crap but y'know.

I used to use my student loans to buy bits for it.

You don't need 500 quid, just update it a bit at a time. A gfx card now, maybe a new motherboard and processor next time, sound card after that.

I haven't updated my pc for quite a while though.

theres always credit, buy now pay nothing for yonks, that gives you the time to save it.

Personally though, if I were you, I'd get a console like the ps2 or xbox, and use that for games, most games on the pc are available on console (apart from a lot of the rts type games), and they only cost about 150 squid.

PCs are a very expensive games machine.
