In order to raise some much needed funds for my Gap Year I have decided to dismantle my i3 rig which was used for gaming. If anyone is interested in an i3 chip (great little overclockers, they'll go to 4.5GHz ON AIR) and a decent Gigabyte 1156 motherboard then I've listed them on eBay here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Intel-Core-i3-530-2-93GHz-Processor-Heatsink-/170612232896?pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item27b94812c0 and here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gigabyte-GA-H55M-S2H-Socket-1156-mATX-Motherboard-/170612267556?pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item27b9489a24.

There's also an Nvidia 8800 Ultra (still performs well in DX10 games out now), I'd be looking for around £75 on that one, but any offers are welcome.

If anyone's interested in anything then feel free to post

The graphics card was an 8800 Ultra which I'm currently using in my main rig, but if anyone is interested then they're free to make an offer.

Hm, I might be interested in the 8800 Ultra, but my last 8800 Ultra was terrible. The 8800 series really dropped the ball on quality, simply because Nviida released over 8,000 defective ones.

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.

This one's been running fine for a couple of years now. What issues were you having?

Basically screen tearing, tried vertical sync, etc. for every game, no luck. So, I returned it.
