@Darren They gave me 800$ for passing the 8th grade and I got a 1080 with them (it's more expensive here in Romania because of VAT), same last year with the 7th grade and 980 Tif

Is it 800 in romanian currency or really 800$? Because that's a hell lot for your age, I don't think I ever had more than 300$ before my first work when I was 18. Spoiled child maybe not, depends on how they acted while giving it to you and how much they "spoil' you or not during the year.

really 800$. 800 Lei (Romanian currency) = 196$. I bought some minor things like some games during the year. The only major thing I bought was the i7, but it was a must considering the 8350 died, so that I could actually use my PC.

That's really a lot then, I just saw you upgrade your GPU every year I guess that's how you do it. I won't judge you since I don't know you personally but that's definitely not what I'll do with my child.
You know what I got for passing 8th grade? Nothing. Had I failed high school though, I probably would've been b****ed slapped back to 3rd grade.
Same thing haha, probably got a Gameboy Advance game or PS2 game at most :D

The problem with him getting so much money for little things like graduating 8th grade, is when he gets his first job and makes minimum wage, he's going to be working a LOT for little money, since the value of a dollar means almost nothing to someone that gets nearly $1k for virtually no reason.

Well all the little money I get will be spent on the PC. My parents said they will support me by paying bills and stuff for their whole life

Your family must be quite well off then!

Although I, and others, believe it's best to learn to pay your own way and earn your money, who are we to judge how you finance your components? As long as you don't steal them then I guess it's OK? ;)

We're not rich, not by a long shot. They just love me enough to give me most of their money. And thank you for not judging me, there are a lot of people on Facebook who simply can't stand it and they start insulting me everytime they see me.

Yeah we shouldn't really judge. We may not agree with them but it's not our money, it's your parents'. They can choose what they give you.

Nice rig! :)

I feel sorry for you. You may not feel this way now since you are so young, but not being able to take care of yourself without the help of your parents when you are an adult is very depressing, and won't get you far when it comes time to getting a girlfriend and looking to move on in life. No woman wants a man who can't afford to take care of himself, let alone a family without the financial help of his parents.

That is not love. That is what happens when parents don't have the time or ability to show affection by spending time with their kids and doing things with them, they think giving them money and buying them stuff will buy their child their love.

I said it before, I don't want a girlfriend. I'm so in love with my computer, I feel that getting a girlfriend would lure me away from it which I don't want.

Let me re-state what I said above:
I feel sorry for you.

You are what, 14? A lot can change between now and when you get towards the end of high school and college. You don't want to be addicted to your computer forever, it's not healthy.

OK now that is a little sad I must admit.

I joke and say computers last longer than my ex girlfriends did but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in having one. Anyway I was so young when I had those relationships it was to be expected. ;)

It's not that I don't like girls, I do I just feel afraid of having a relationship. Maybe if I find a girl who likes computers too I will get in a relationship with her :p
'Life's too short to be afraid' my friend! But what I would say is that usually if you don't look for a girlfriend, one day you'll just stumble across one that you fall in love with.

My parents have been married for 26 years. Dad's an IT engineer and has been since before he met my mum. Mum has no interest in computers at all, so you don't necessarily need to find one who likes computers.

I see this thread could be turning into 'Post your girlfriend'... interpret that as you wish! :D ;)

Well when I was in the 5th grade I liked a girl a lot and kept thinking about her. But I was sad that I wasn't thinking about computers anymore and now I'm glad I don't have any major crushes.

Seconded this. I'm a Computer Engineer in-training at university, and work as a Software Engineer. Built a $1500+ computer, own a $1200 laptop, Xbox One, WiiU, Xbox 360, among many other game systems, along with an immense collection of games and movies.

My girlfriend of nearly 6 years has zero interest in almost all technology. She's an artist by talent, and disliked most school, and doesn't care about computers so long as they work when she needs them for something. It's not that she doesn't understand anything about them, she just doesn't care to know the technicalities and what not; Just not her cup of tea or hobby.

You don't need a woman who likes technology or computers because you do. It might help, but believe me, there's a lot more to life, love, and relationships than just a similar hobby or two, not to mention I'd personally get tired of someone who was as into games as I am. Sometimes I need that nudge to take a break and go live a little, and being with someone who isn't like me, helps that happen.
