NoCanDo :
Have really awesome systems, my system has the 1090t, 6gig of ram and the 5770.
So, the killer question..
How do you make money?
I'm in College and the minimum wage for someone under 18 in the UK is beyond a joke, so getting a part-time job is out of the question, what I'm aiming towards is a new GFX cards, possibly 6970 or two, 6990 when it comes out, perhaps.. so how would I go about this?
Oh yeah, and a few monitors.
Is there anything that's merchable or any part-time jobs I could pursue that paid quite generously?
Thanks

This is a difficult question indeed, and no disrespect intended, but from your writing you seem very naive; so I hope I can add some prospective by starting from the beginning. First of all I'd like to put in perspective that you're already very wealthy (more than $10 dollars a day? you're in the top 20% of the world) and thus in competition with the many whom would like to claw their way into your economic situation any way they can (education, trade, politics, war.. or by immigrating and competing in the minimum wage bracket) . This is why your education is so important, because if you're at a low level there are literally Millions of starving poor able and willing to do your job harder for less money.
You're lucky that mommy and daddy pushed you through grade school but that's not quite enough any more.. You risk falling into the working poor range and dropping out of college and then what?? nobody here to save the other 80% of the world so not many people are going to be there to help you.. you'll have to roll the dice on your life (and very few roll the lucky streak that takes them off the street and gives them a second chance)
You're still in limbo here, young, relatively educated (high school is much more than most working poor will have) but you're not nearly secure with a college degree or promising career or high wage job; but (cutting to the chase and why i say naive) you're casually shopping in the same range as a professional or enthusiast like you should afford it. It's out of your price/age range to be doing that, though it's your time to waste if you disagree.. I'm not commanding you i'm just giving you some ideas of my experience and that of the majority of all humans (the 80%+)
You have a system many hard working college students or recent grads would see as higher end already (unless it's a company/work system that requires enthusiast parts to properly work and earn a job). I don't think you realize that so I typed it out for you with a summary of why, and I hope you start to understand that (my post isn't nearly all-there-is-fact, rather a serving of knowledgeable opinion).
Anything that expensive is going to require you to get a career to easily afford, else live miserly on minimum wage (like many more qualified and hard working than you have to do to for just food and shelter) to afford it. Paying for it now with a minimum wage job is not smart either when you're not even in a safe position in life (almost working poor).
and..
If there are generous part time jobs or careers ( It's not that simple, you'll see ) than likely the competition at your education level is going to beat you for the spot 90% of the time whether with job experience or certifications or personal initiative.. So stop wasting your money and time on fantasy luxury PC items and get to work with your life.. or waste your time and money then hope that luck brings you a fantastic life that you didn't have to work hard or plan for..
